A redundancy analysis for the Inwald Personality Inventory and the MMPI.
A redundancy analysis between two psychological preemployment screening inventories was conducted with 2,438 male correction officer candidates. One canonical variate accounted for the majority of overlapping variance. When cross-validated, redundancy indices were. 17 for the Inwald Personality Inventory (IPI) and. 15 for the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Three areas of overlap-control over actions, external control, and restlessness-were suggested. Less pathological behavioral patterns predictive of future job performance appeared measured only by the IPI. These results, combined with results from predictive validity studies, provide evidence that pathology is not sufficient for identifying "high risk" candidates.
