This study attempted to demonstrate behavioral correlates of two related Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory code types (4-9,9-4) with inpatients from state psychiatric facilities. The findings are discussed in terms of the discriptors available, the role of base rates, and similarity-dissimilarity of 4-9 profiles. A suggestion is offered…

In general, this study found that the validity of single MMPI scales for predicting psychiatric symptoms was too low to be clinically useful for predictions about the individual case. The psychotic scales were particularly lacking in validity. The validity data for all scales is given. (Author/CG)

This study examined the usefulness of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire in differentiating characteristics of counselors who were rated effective and ineffective. (Author)

Several general findings emerged: (a) a combination of typological pattern and magnitude of dimensional scores rather than either factor alone was a better predictor of future recidivism, and (b) among milder delinquent types, race may be operating as a bias in determining incarceration. (Author)

The MMPI profile pattern, described here, entailed a behavior pattern that includes hostile-aggressive acting out. The frequency of this profile pattern and the social and psychological importance of the behavior pattern associated with it suggest that clinical investigators can profitably study this group of men.

Pretest and posttest scores on the Edwards and the Marlowe Crowne Social Desirability scales and the 12 scales of the Personal Orientation Inventory were administered four days before and four days after participation. Participants demonstrated a significant decrease in defensiveness and constriction and showed change in the direction of more…

The most significant findings are the results of comparison of high and low need achievement groups whose achievement and ability are comparable. Differences were found on the scales of abasement, affiliation, autonomy, deference, intraception, and nurturance. (Author)

The results of this study indicate that a rather strong inverse relationship exists between repression-sensitization and Personality Orientation Inventory scale scores. The evidence suggests that repressors may be better adjusted than sensitizers. (Author)

Focuses on the personality of the activist, and summarizes the results from several major studies, and some explanatory concepts deriving from these findings are discussed in an effort to provide an accurate, composite description of the young people who emerged as activists in the 1960's." (PR)

Hypothesizes that the personality dimension of authoritarianism can be measured by means of symbols just as well as it is currently measured by Adorno's verbal F-scale. Pilot study confirms symbolic test of intolerance of ambiguity resulted in positive correlation. (Author/DB)

Examines Allport's concept of unity and why his ideas have not been translated into clinical practice. Discusses how Dabrowski's concept of multilevelness organizes levels of development. The application of multilevelness to unity provides a model in which Allport's ideas are clarified and differentiates personality characteristics potentially…
