The Role Construct Repertory Technique, the Cattell 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and Shipley-Institute of Living Scale of Intelligence were administered to 20 newly admitted neuropsychiatric patients in a regional Veterans Hospital in the Midwest. In view of the absence of observed relationships between the Bannister-Fransella Grid and personality and intelligence, and the presence of relationships between the Role Construct Repertory Technique and other personality measures, the purpose of this study was to investigate relationships among three scores of construct structure and measures of personality, psychopathology, and intelligence. Moderate correlations were found with each of the three measures, indicating that, rather than “clinically unique,” the Role Construct Repertory Technique provides a wealth of clinical information also discernible by other measures.

By means of stepwise multiple regression, 12 factors of the Marriage Role Questionnaire were regressed on factors of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire and 25 scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. The regressions were run with the predictor instruments separately and combined. Individually, the MMPI proved superior to the 16 PF in predicting to the factors of the Marriage Role Questionnaire. However, in six cases out of the 12 predictability improved substantially when both instruments were utilized together. Some of the substantive results of this investigation match findings from previous research.

The argument is presented that many commercial personality questionnaires occupy a similar common vector space. A data-set was obtained of scores for 204 persons on the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, the California Personality Inventory, the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule, the Omnibus Personality Inventory, and the Adjective Check List. Quasifactor scores were generated from each inventory, based on the results of earlier work, as estimates of five broad variables hypothesized to define the common vector space across instruments. Factor analysis of the correlations among the resultant 23 variables was largely confirmatory of the hypothesized common vector space.

Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) is the latest personality inventory that measures pathological personality based on DSM-5 model. As a clinical instrument, validity testing is an essential procedure to be achieved, so the clinicians could ascertain the accuracy of the test results. This study aims to measure the convergent validity of Indonesian Version of PID-5. The relationship between PID-5 domains and Personality Psychopathology Five-revised (PSY-5-r) subscales from Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) was being measured in this study. All participants were university students (n = 72, M = 22.24 years old, SD = 6.00, males 45.8% and females 54.2%). The PID-5 and MMPI-2-RF which have been adapted into Bahasa Indonesia was administered to all participants. Pearson correlation was used to measure the relationship between each domain from PID-5 (i.e. Negative Affectivity, Antagonism, Detachment, Disinhibition, and Psychoticism) with PSY-5-r subscales (i.e. Negative Emotionality, Aggressiveness, Introversion, Disconstraint, and Psychoticism). Most of the PID-5 domain showed the highest correlation with its conceptually expected PSY-5-r counterpart (r = .31 - .75; Mdnr = .54; p < .01, two tails), except for Disinhibition domain, which showed higher correlation with Negative Emotionality (r = .59) than Disconstraint (r = .31). This slight variation of correlation pattern notwithstanding, the overall result still suffices to confirm a pattern of convergence betw­een PID-5 domains and PSY-5-r subscales.

Previous research has shown correlations between normal personality variables of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) and Axis II personality disorder scales using the Morey, Waugh, and Blashfield Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory. This study ( N = 37) compared variables from the adolescent version of the 16PF, the High School Personality Questionnaire, Revised, including the new Clinical Supplement and the MMPI scales of Morey, et al. and yielded results similar to those from earlier studies with other inventories. Extraversion scores correlated positively with those on Narcissistic and Histrionic scales, negatively with scores on Schizoid, Avoidant, and Schizotypal scales; scores on Independence had a similar pattern.

Drunken driving is among the main challenges for road safety by causing worldwide motor-vehicle crashes with severe injuries and deaths. The reassessment of fitness-to-drive in drivers stopped for drunken driving includes mainly psychological examinations. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and the consistency of selected variables of different psychological driving-related dimensions (i.e., cognitive skills and personality) in discriminating 90 male drinker drivers (DD) from matched non-drinkers controls. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the Mental Rotation Test (MRT), and the Perspective-Taking Test (PT) were administered to assess overall cognitive functioning, and object- and self-based spatial transformation abilities, respectively. Participants completed a computerized test measuring resilience of attention (DT), reaction times (RT), and perceptual speed (ATAVT). The Personality Psychopathology Five scales (i.e., PSY-5: Aggressiveness-AGGR, Psychoticism-PSYC, Disconstraint-DISC, Negative-Emotionality-NEGE, and Introversion-INTR) the validity scale (L) and the dissimulation index (F-K) were scored from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2). A logistic binomial regression analysis (backward subtraction method) was used to identify discriminant predictors. A prediction analysis (ROC curve method) was performed on the final model. Results showed that the scores obtained in MRT, DT, and the personality measures of PSYC, DISC, NEGE, and INTR significantly discriminated DD from their matched controls with moderate-to-good values of accuracy (0.79), sensitivity (0.80), and specificity (0.79), as well as a good AUC value (0.89). In some cases, the personality dimensions provided—reliable—unexpected results. Low scores of PSYC, NEGE, and INTR were found to predict the membership to the DD group; results are discussed with reference to response management. Personality measures should be assessed with particular attention in a forensic context because they are more prone to be feigned than cognitive ones. Overall, the present study confirmed the relevance of integrating different driving-related psychological dimensions in the evaluation of fitness-to-drive showing the usefulness of standardized tools for the reassessment of drinker drivers.

The personality, psychopathological, and demographic differences between 330 alcoholic men referred for behavioral problems and 104 alcoholic men referred for medical problems were examined. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 indicated that those referred for behavioral problems showed more antisocial characteristics, while those referred for medical reasons had more subjective distress, were more highly introverted, and showed greater somatic preoccupation. Hispanic alcoholic men had a significantly higher proportion of medical referrals than Caucasian and African-American alcoholic men.

The authors review the published, peer-reviewed studies relevant to two questions: What psychological constructs underlie police officer suitability and fitness? and What assessment instruments provide empirically validated measures of these constructs? In addressing the second question, the authors focus on examples of research related to the most commonly used instruments in these suitability and fitness evaluations (i.e., current versions of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, California Psychological Inventory, Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, and Personality Assessment Inventory). The discussion is limited to a review of studies published in peer-reviewed journals and pertaining only to versions of the test currently supported by the test’s publisher.

Using 148 clients from a private practice sample, concurrent scores on the Morey, Waugh, and Blashfield Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Scales and the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire were factor analyzed in an attempt to map the Axis II disorders within a circumplex of interpersonal behavior. Individual predictions about the 16 PF primaries were made and then equations were developed to predict the Morey, Waugh, Blashfield MMPI scales from the 16 PF scores. Using a separate sample of 43 clients and 21 students, a cross-validation of concepts was performed by using the 16 PF to generate the MMPI scores and correlating the predicted scores with concurrent Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory scores. Concordance of the personality disorder characterizations across the instruments was high. Many of the predicted personality disorder characteristics were supported by the research, and 10 of 11 correlations with the Millon were significant. This research suggests the 16 PF is useful for generating hypotheses about personality disorders and that the Axis II conceptualizations fit as expected within normal personality space.

In recent years, several studies have addressed the issue of positive self-presentation bias in assessing parents involved in postdivorce child custody litigations. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) is widely used in forensic assessments and is able to evaluate positive self-presentation through its Superlative Self-Presentation S scale. We investigated the existence of a gender effect on positive self-presentation bias in an Italian sample of parents involved in court evaluation. Participants were 391 divorced parents who completed the full 567-item Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 during child custody evaluations ordered by several Italian courts between 2006 and 2010. Our analysis considered the S scale along with the basic clinical scales. North-American studies had shown no gender differences in child custody litigations. Differently, our results showed a significantly higher tendency toward “faking-good” profiles on the MMPI-2 among Italian women as compared to men and as compared to the normative Italian female population. Cultural and social factors could account for these differences.
