A French translation of the Fisher Body Focus Questionnaire has been made with a population of 94 female and 24 male subjects. Distributions of scores were largely normal. Some differences in body perception appeared between males and females. The test-retest reliability of the scales for 1 mo. was generally significant. Independence of scales has not been verified, while a factorial analysis yielded two meaningful factors. Cross-validation was attempted with personality traits. Some variables link with personality.
