The scores of SCL-90 and positive rates in migrant workers with the different personality types had significant difference (P < 0.01). The results of binary logistic regression analysis indicated that the working years, drinking, sex, P scores, E scores and N scores of EPQ were main predictors of the poor physical fitness status. The vocations, working years, P scores and N scores of EPQ were strong predictors of the somatization. he vocations, P scores and N scores of EPQ were strong predictors of the obsessive compulsive symptom. The smoking, P scores and N scores of EPQ were strong predictors of the interpersonal sensitivity. The working years, P scores of EPQ were strong predictors of the depression. P scores of EPQ was strong predictors of the anxiety. P scores, E scores and N scores of EPQ were strong predictors of the hostility. The working years, smoking, P scores, E scores and N scores of EPQ were strong predictors of the phobic anxiety. The working years, P scores of EPQ were strong predictors of the paranoid ideation. The working years, P scores and N scores of EPQ were strong predictors of the psychosis.
