title: F Scale elevation and PTSD MMPI profiles.
abstract: MMPI profiles for 87 PTSD veteran inpatients were classified and studied according to MMPI F Scale elevation. Mean MMPI profiles and frequency of high two-point code types were studied for different levels of F Scale elevation. Similar mean profile configurations were found for subgroups with F > or = 70 with Scales 2 and 8 appearing as the two highest clinical scales. For F < 70 the configuration was different in that Scale 8 was not one of the two highest scales. The 2-8/8-2 high two-point code was the modal high two-point code for the total sample but the relative frequency of high two-point codes did vary somewhat within and across levels of F Scale elevation.
