Separation of brain-damaged from psychiatric patients: value of the Wiggins MMPI Content Scales.
The value of the 13 Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Wiggins Content Scales for the separation of brain-damaged from psychiatric patients was investigated. A sample of 40 males, evenly divided between brain-damaged and psychiatric patients, was administered the MMPI. Statistical analysis yielded a significant difference only for the phobia content scale. Practical implications of the results are discussed.
