Acquired Personality Problems refer to whether or not the participant had acquired problems in personality functioning, as derived from data on the Iowa Scales of Personality Change. The numbers in parentheses denote degree of severity, where 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe.

2

The extent of post-lesion change or impairment in aspects of social conduct and interpersonal functioning was rated on a three-point scale, with 1 = no change or impairment, 2 = moderate change or impairment, 3 = severe change or impairment.

Characterizations of Acquired Personality Problems and Social and Interpersonal Functioning were rendered by a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist who was blind to the hypothesis of the current study at the time the ratings were performed.
