title: Diagnostic hit rates of high point codes for the Diagnostic Inventory of Personality and Symptoms using random assignment, base rates, and probability scales.
abstract: Diagnostic hit rates for the Diagnostic Inventory of Personality and Symptoms (DIPS) were compared to diagnosis by psychiatrists of the same patients (N = 60). Three methods were employed to determine the DIPS hit rates. The Probability Scale employing Bayesian concepts and base rates correctly classified 70% of the patients and was more accurate by far than the other two methods.
