<< hat's as may be, but I'm not sure that's a hard-and-fast truth 
 when it comes to Jusenkyo curses.  Does Ryoga, Shampoo or
 Mousse have the brains of a mere pig/cat/duck in their cursed
 forms?  No!  Their true selves are merely locked away in the
 form of said creatures.  And the same goes for Ranma.  Now,
 Scott Jamison's doing a terrific job taking the opposite tack, 
 insofar as Ranma's curse gives him the mind of a female as
 well as the body, but it's quite clearly a completely different
 person when in 'Ranko's' form.

                 Not totally true. In the manga and anime. Ranma does become
more playful and fliratitious when in female form.
