This experiment tests the psychiatric observation that the different groups of neurotics can be distinguished by their speed and accuracy. It is shown that introverted neurotics are characterized by low speed and extroverted neurotics by low accuracy. If regarded as measuring an aspect of personality, speed‐accuracy patterns may be specially valuable because of their sensitivity to variations in time
