title: Schizotaxia, information processing and the MMPI 2-7-8 code type.
abstract: The relationship between the 2-7-8 MMPI code type and schizotaxia was investigated. College students whose Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory profiles revealed a 2-7-8 code were compared to an elevation-free group on a visual information-processing task. The 2-7-8 group exhibited a processing deficiency similar to that previously found for schizophrenics and in-patient schizotypal personalities, supporting the construct validity of the 2-7-8 code as a measure of schizotaxia.
