Folia Phoniatr Logop. 1994;46(3):127-34. doi: 10.1159/000266304.

Abstract

The psychological professional profile of 20 speech therapists has been investigated by Achtnich's BBT test. The results show three trends common to the profession: choice of the social factor, intense need for imagination and creativity, desire of self-assertion. However, the need for information and acquisition of new knowledge and control of activity is virtually absent among the sample tested.
