Results from the present study do not support the view that measures of schizotypy may be grouped in a parallel way to symptoms shown by populations of schizophrenic subjects, but do support the idea that the symptom groupings shown by schizophrenics may be seen as primary and not the secondary result of reactions to earlier phases of the illness.
