Mmpi Profile

A program is described for the development and implementation of a scoring and interpretation technique for the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory through the use of an electronic computer. Depending upon the configural pattern of the MMPI profile, the computer automatically draws from a statement library of over 70 descriptive statements a personality summary of the salient characteristics of the patient. This summary is used by the medical consultant in dealing with his patient.The technique has been used on over 20,000 patients at the Mayo Clinic and is currently a routine test in the medical sections. The program has undergone many modifications since its inception in 1961.The process is described whereby the current library of descriptive statements was developed and some of the difficulties involved. It summarizes the authors’ subjective feelings about this method of personality evaluation as well as the opportunities for future research and expansion in this area.

Scale Scores

Elevated overreporting Validity Scale scores on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–2–Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) are associated with higher scores on collateral measures; however, measures used in prior research lacked validity scales. We sought to extend these findings by examining associations between elevated MMPI-2-RF overreporting scale scores and Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) scale scores among 654 non–head injury civil disability claimants. Individuals were classified as overreporting psychopathology (OR-P), overreporting somatic/cognitive complaints (OR-SC), inconclusive reporting psychopathology (IR-P), inconclusive reporting somatic/cognitive complaints (IR-SC), or valid reporting (VR). Both overreporting groups had significantly and meaningfully higher scores than the VR group on the MMPI-2-RF and PAI scales. Both IR groups had significantly and meaningfully higher scores than the VR group, as well as lower scores than their overreporting counterparts. Our findings demonstrate the utility of inventories with validity scales in assessment batteries that include instruments without measures of protocol validity.

A systematic review of studies related to the psychological characteristics ofSasangtypes was conducted with the goal of delineating generalizable psychological profiles based onSasangtypology, a traditional Korean medical typology with medical herbs and acupuncture that is characterized as personalized medicine. Journal articles pertaining toSasangtypology were collected using five electronic database systems in Korea and in the USA. As a result, 64 potentially relevant studies were identified and 21 peer-reviewed research articles that employed psychometric inventories were included. Beginning with the use of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory in 1992, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, NEO-Personality Inventory, Temperament and Character Inventory and other personality assessment tools were employed in the identified studies. Because data synthesis could not be carried out due to the heterogeneity of the studies, the present review article sought to delineate the mutual relevance of the studies based on research results pertaining to the correlation between the aforementioned psychological assessment instruments. Results of the review indicate that two super-factors, Extraversion and Neuroticism, serve as the foundation in regards to delineating personality constructs, such that the So-Yang type scored high on the Extraversion dimension and low on the Neuroticism dimension, while the So-Eum type scored low on the Extraversion dimension and high on the Neuroticism dimension. The present systematic review indicates thatSasangtypology shares similarities with the Western psychological tradition.
