Abstract: Objective To explore the distribution characteristics of five-state personality in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). Methods A total of 144 patients with bipolar disorder in the outpatient clinic at Beijing Anding Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from January to December 2017 were investigated with the Five-Pattern Personality Inventory, and the distribution of five-state personality characteristics was analyzed. Results The scores of patients with bipolar disorder in the four dimensions of Taiyang, Shaoyang, Yin-yang peace and Shaoyin were significantly lower than that of the national norm, while the scores of those in the Taiyin dimension were significantly higher than that in the national norm(P<0.05). There was no difference in the distribution of five-state personality characteristics between bipolar type Ⅰ and bipolar type Ⅱ, and between male and female. Conclusion The high score of those in Taiyin dimension is a significant personality characteristic of patients with bipolar disorder, and personality factors may not be a significant factor affecting the classification of BD subtypes and gender differences.

Key words: bipolar disorder, five-pattern personality, Taiyin personality
