We administered the Personality Trend Questionnaire (CTP; Valdez, 2009) and the Somatic Symptoms Scale (ESS-R; Sandín & Chorot, 1995). Data analyses were conducted to the responses of a non probabilistic intentional sample of one 128 adults (60 and 68 women), of whom 64 corresponded to the ego(+) type and 64 to the type ego(-). Significant differences were found by personality styles. The type ego(-) participants were more symptomatic, and manifested more immunologic, gastrointestinal, allergic, hypertensive and renal symptoms. Based on the interrelationships within each personality type sample, the symptoms that involved the immunological system were more prevalent in the type ego(-), while the muscular-skeletal and genitourinary symptoms prevailed in the type ego(+). Differences by gender were also obtained, but they did not interact with the type of personality. Women were more symptomatic than men. Thus, the types of personality and gender allow considering differential strategies in somatic symptom intervention. Esta investigación tuvo por objetivo averiguar si hay diferencias en la manifestación de síntomas somáticos, tomando en cuenta el tipo de tendencia de personalidad [ego(+) o ego(-)] y el género. Se aplicó el Cuestionario de Tendencias de la Personalidad (CTP; Valdez, 2009) y la Escala de Síntomas Somáticos (ESS-R; Sandín & Chorot, 1995). Los análisis de datos fueron hechos sobre una muestra no probabilística intencional de 128 adultos (70 hombres y 68 mujeres), de los cuales 64 pertenecían al tipo ego(+) y 64 al tipo ego(-). Se encontraron diferencias significativas por estilos de personalidad. Los participantes de tipo ego(-) fueron más sintomáticos, sufriendo más síntomas inmunológicos, gastrointestinales, alérgicos, hipertensivos y renales. Con base en la interrelación dentro de cada muestra de tipo de personalidad, los síntomas que involucran al sistema inmune se definieron más en el tipo ego(–) y los músculo-esqueléticos y genitourinarios en el tipo ego(+). También hubo diferencias por género, pero sin interacción con el tipo de personalidad. Las mujeres fueron más sintomáticas que los hombres. Así los tipos de personalidad y el género, como factores independientes, permiten considerar estrategias diferenciales de intervención en síntomas somáticos.
