description This paper describes a study conducted in the Department of Psychiatry, Christian Medical College, Vellore to find out the usefulness of Bortner Rating Scale (BRS) in the assessment of type A or coronary prone behaviour. The test re-test reliability and interrater reliability of BRS are quite high. Its validity as assessed by finding out its correlation with the Jenkin's Activity Survey was satisfactory. It was found that BRS was useful to discriminate patients with coronary heart disease from normals. The implications of the above observations are discussed.
