Let \(S^m\) denote a hypersphere of a Euclidean \((m+1)\)-space \(E^{m+1}\). An isometric immersion \(x\colon M\to S^m\) of a Riemannian manifold \(M\) in \(S^m\) is said to be of 2-type if its position vector in \(E^{m+1}\) is the sum of two eigenvectors of the Laplacian of \(M\) [\textit{B.-Y. Chen}, `Total mean curvature and submanifolds of finite type' (Ser. Pure Math. 1, World Scientific, Singapore) (1984; Zbl 0537.53049)]. In this article, the author proves the following result. If \(M\) is a compact, 2-type, non-minimal hypersurface of \(S^{m}\), then \(M\) has constant scalar curvature and constant mean curvature. Reviewer's remark: The same result was proved earlier by \textit{Th. Hasanis} and \textit{Th. Vlachos} [J. Geom. 40, 82-94 (1991; Zbl 0726.53038)].
