“…An average 2-week temporal stability of the profile scales within a clinical sample was .86; the index for the factor scales was the same (86). Scale validity has been demonstrated through identification of scale-replicated correlates in large clinical samples (Lachar, 1982; Lachar & Gdowski, 1979) and through the development of actuarial approaches to profile classification and interpretation (Gdowski, Lachar, & Kline, 1985; Kline, Lachar, & Gdowski, 1987; Lachar, 1990; LaCombe, Kline, Lachar, Butkus, & Hillman, 1991). 1…”

The present study investigated external correlates of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) profile scales in a racially mixed urban sample of 247 adolescent psychiatric inpatients and outpatients. The correlates included consensually nominated items from the Personality Inventory for Children (PIC) completed by the patient's mother or surrogate mother. Correlates were calculated separately by sex. Validity and meaning of the adolescent's MMPI profile relative to the PIC correlates were examined. Results supported the traditional adult-based interpretations of most single-scale elevations; however, Scales 4 and 0 were more strongly supported, and Scales 3,5, and 6 were significantly less supported. Substantial discrepancies in MMPI scale correlates across gender were obtained for 7 out of 10 scales studied. These results contribute to the actuarial interpretive base of the profile scales in the new MMPI custom designed for adolescents.

“…Cluster-analytic techniques are useful in psychopathology research for identifying subtypes of disorders or for designing diagnostic systems (Borgen & Barnett, 1987). Cluster-analytic techniques have frequently been applied to identify subgroups based on their performance on a particular personality measure (e.g., LaCombe et al, 1991).…”
