Objective:To examine differences among recovered Bipolar Ⅰ, Bipolar Ⅱ patients and controls. Methods: Using NEO-PI-R, HAMD and BRMS, we investigated 59 recovered bipolar patients and 59 normal controls matched for age, gender and education. Results: Compared with controls, Bipolar Ⅱ patients showed significant differences in personality traits of Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Openness to Experience. While Bipolar Ⅰ patients obtained higher scores on Gregariousness, Bipolar Ⅱ patients scored higher on traits of Depression, Impulsiveness and Aesthetics. Scores on Warmth were higher in Bipolar Ⅰ patients than in Bipolar Ⅱ patients. Conclusion: Personality traits of recovered bipolar patients were markedly different from matched controls, whereas the differences between Bipolar Ⅰ and Bipolar Ⅱ patients were small.
