title: The use of the MMPI-168 with delinquent adolescents.
abstract: Compared the standard MMPI and the MMPI-168 scores of 90 male delinquent adolescents. Raw score and T-score correlations were generally high and within acceptable limits, which indicates that MMPI-168 scores are useful with delinquent adolescents. However, two-point codetypes derived from standard MMPIs and MMPI-168s were in agreement less than half of the time. Caution should be exercised in the interpretation of two-point codetypes from MMPI-168 raw scores.
