Summary/Abstract: The aim of presented study was to investigate the relationship between the schizotypal types and mentalizing ability (that is, the ability to attribute mental states to other people in order to explain and predict their behaviours). According to the previous research, both people softer from schizophrenia and high schizotypol subjects have difficulties in mentalizing. In this study the Oxford-Liverpool Inventory of Feelings and Experiences and the Strange Story Test were used. Obtained results, indicating that there is no relation between schizotypal type and men- talizing are discussed in the context of the results of past research.
