title: MMPI and intelligence correlates: assessment of relationships via multivariate analyses.
abstract: The relationships among MMPI scales and four different intellectual ability tests were studied. The subjects, 201 females and 1,429 males, performed four ability tests and the MMPI successively, in one continuous session. The findings indicated relatively low levels of Pearson and canonical correlations. However, regression analyses, in which the 10 MMPI clinical scales were employed as predictors and the 4 ability tests as predicted variables, yielded 18% to 37% of explained variance, with significant differences in patterns of equations between genders. The results are discussed briefly as related to objectives of research that concern the relationships between personality measures and intellectual ability indices.
