Correspondence of the MMPI-2 and MCMI-II in male substance abusers.
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2; Butcher, Dahlstrom, Graham, Tellegen, & Kaemmer, 1989) and the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-II (MCMI-II; Millon, 1987) were given to 306 men with substance use disorders, and scores on 45 MMPI-2 scales and 25 MCMI-II scales were analyzed separately into seven and five principal components. The first two components from both tests accounted for a majority of the explained variance and were well correlated across tests. They were labeled Emotional Maladjustment and Antisocial Traits for both tests.
