title: A statistical audit of the clinical utility of the 168 version of MMPI.
abstract: Measured MMPI protocols from 347 female and 563 male psychiatric patients according to the standard form and the 168 version. Clinical scales were derived and profiles were classified using the procedure of Marks, Seeman, and Haller (1978). Approximately 50% agreement between MMPI-168 and full scale profiles was obtained. Most disagreements tended to be clinically important. On a simple psychopathology/nonpsychopathology dichotomy, between 75 and 80% agreement occurred.
