title: Comparing the diagnostic validity of an abbreviated and standard MMPI.
abstract: The diagnostic efficacy of the MMPI-168 and standard MMPI was compared with a sample of psychiatric inpatients. Using traditional psychiatric measures and projective testing as a basis for the criterion diagnoses, no significant differences were found between the two MMPI forms. Rationale for the methodology employed was discussed.
