ABSTRACT
Sixty boys [30 delinquents and 30 control] were studied. All subjects underwent the following tests Eysenck personality inventory to evaluate neuroticism [N] and extraversion [E], Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory to evaluate psychopathic deviation [PD], modification of draw a person test [DAP] to measure IQ, h and test to measure degree of aggression, acting out and violence, and dermatoglyphics of fingers of both h and s. Results showed that the 3 personality dimensions tested were significantly higher in juvenile delinquents than in the control group. Similarly, a significant difference existed for aggression and acting out at p <0.01 IQ was significantly lower among juvenile delinquents than among the control group [t = 3.77, p = 0.01]. As for the dermatoglyphics, radial loops were nearly absent in both h and s of juvenile delinquents. The only significant relationship elicited was in the right index for the drug abuse offense
