We explored premorbid intelligence level in psychiatric patients with personality disorders, depressive disorders, bipolar disorders and schizophrenic disorders. 273 consecutively admitted patients and 81 controls were included in the study and tested with the ‘Test di Intelligenza Breve’, an Italian adaptation of the National Adult Reading Test. Significant differences between the clinical samples and the control subjects were found but not among the 4 clinical groups. The observation of premorbid IQ deficits in subjects with diagnoses other than schizophrenia suggests a common vulnerability diathesis, which is most likely to have a neurodevelopmental basis.Keywords: premorbid intelligence, psychiatric disorders, specificity Paolo StrattaIlaria RiccardiAnnarita Tomassini, Maria MarronaroRoberta PacificoAlessandro RossiDove Medical PressarticleNeurosciences.
