Two groups completed Gray –Wilson personality questionnaire (GWPQ) and both groups mean for considered variables were reviewed for comparison of two independent groups by using T-Test. The present research results show more activities of behavioural activity system (BAS) and low activities of behavioural inhibition system (BIS) in (ADHD) group. There was not any significant difference in fight / flight system (FFS) between both groups. The results of the present study conform to original hypothesis of J.A.
