Abstract: 60 subjects were administered the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20, a screening test fur alexithymia, and categorized by the usual scoring procedure. Each subject was then given the six Performance subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised which address aspects of visual perception, organization, and construction. Analysis indicated that the alexithymic group scored significantly lower on two tests of visual perception, Picture Completion and Digit Symbol of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised.
