A community survey which involved 771 rural/urban respondents in Nigeria was undertaken in order to investigate the knowledge and opinion about descriptions which are prototypic of mentally ill persons. This report focuses on the relationship between levels of education and opinion as well as tolerance of the respondents for persons who might fit the descriptions. The findings indicate that substantial proportions among the literate and nonliterate are unable to associate the descriptions with mental illness
