There has been limited research into the behavioral correlates associated with the Masculinity-Femininity ( Mf) scale of the MMPI (and the MMPI-2). In this study, both the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory—II (MCMI-II), a frequently used self-report measure of personality functioning, and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–2 (MMPI-2) were administered to a group of 76 female psychiatric inpatients. The sample was divided based upon MMPI-2 Mf scale T scores. Subjects with a T score >50 were assigned to the high- Mf group ( n = 28), whereas subjects with a T score >50 were assigned to the low- Mf group ( n = 48). The two groups were compared across the 13 personality disorder scales of the MCMI-II. The results showed that subjects in the high- Mf group had significantly higher scores on the MCMI-II Narcissistic, Antisocial, Aggressive/Sadistic, and Paranoid personality disorder scales. A correlational analysis revealed that the MMPI-2 Mf scale was significantly correlated with these four MCMI-II personality disorder scales. These results are discussed in light of their clinical implications and the limitations of the study.

Two groups of psoriatic outpatients ( ns = 192 and 119) were given, respectively, the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-II and Foulds' Delusions-Symptoms-States Inventory. They were compared with dental ( n = 192) and with general surgical ( n = 190) patients. The psoriatic group presented clearly higher mean scores and frequencies on most of the personality disorder scales. On Foulds' inventory, psoriatic patients showed higher frequencies of neurotic and psychotic class allocations. A cluster analysis of personality scores provided evidence for 4 different personality clusters of patients with psoriasis: (a) Avoidant, Dependent, Schizoid, and Self-defeating (32.2%), (b) Compulsive, Narcissistic, and Aggressive (30.7%), (c) no personality disorder (18.2%), (d) Borderline, Paranoid, and Schizotypal, etc. (18.8%).

Criterion Variables

The role of hostility in personality disorder (Pd) traits was explored using the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory. Stepwise multiple regression analyses were conducted to ascertain the relative contributions of the eight hostility scales. The criterion variables were the personality disorder scales of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory. The participants were 158 first year male and female university students. The results show that Resentment (covert hostility) explains large proportions of variances in borderline, avoidant, schizotypal, passive-aggressive, obsessive-compulsive, and schizoid disorder traits. Verbal hostility (overt hostility) is associated with antisocial, histrionic, and narcissistic Pd traits. Suspiciousness contributes relatively large variances in paranoid disorder traits, whereas guilt is the dominant aspect of dependent Pd traits. The results are explained with reference to the agreeableness versus antagonism facets of the Five-Factor model of personality and Beck's schema construct.

96 patients with a clinical diagnosis of Dissociative Identity Disorder were administered the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory–II. The most elevated personality disorder scales were Avoidant, Self-defeating, Borderline, and Passive-Aggressive personality disorders. Elevated Axis I scales included Dysthymia, Major Depression, Thought Disorder, and Anxiety Disorder. Millon–II profiles of a patient before and after integration showed normalization of a previously pathological profile.

College students (27 men, 47 women) rated Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory items for sex-typedness. Men and women did not differ in their perceptions of the sex-typing of the test, either for individual items or for 11 personality disorder scales; however, subjects perceived items in general as slightly more likely to be endorsed by women than men. In addition, 10 of the 11 scales were perceived as significantly more likely to be endorsed by one sex or the other. These sex differences were generally consistent with reports of actual sex differences in the frequencies of diagnosis of Axis II conditions. Several inconsistencies between actual sex differences and the sex-typedness of Millon scales were identified and discussed.

This study is a replication of the link between broad personality factors from the 16 PF and personality disorder scales based on Millon's typology of personality. The current study was done with the new version of the 16 PF during the final stages of norming. The sample consisted of 30 female and 2 male undergraduate and graduate students, ranging in age from about 21 to 60 years. The data from this replication are consistent with results of the earlier study in that 15 of the 18 expectations were in the expected direction. Of these 10 were significant.
