This study analyzed Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) data, identifying specific two-point codes involving Scale 5. These codes represent a small but distinct subgroup within the patient sample, offering insights into their characteristics.

Area of Science:

  • Psychological Assessment
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is a widely used psychological assessment tool.
  • Scale 5 (Masculinity/Femininity) is one of the clinical scales within the MMPI.
  • Two-point codes represent specific combinations of elevated MMPI scales.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and describe MMPI protocols featuring two-point codes that include Scale 5.
  • To characterize the patient profiles associated with these specific MMPI code types.
  • To provide base rates and descriptive statistics for these MMPI codes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective search of MMPI files from 1,016 patients.
  • Identification of protocols with two-point codes involving Scale 5.

  • Development of composite descriptions for identified code types.
  • Inclusion of an additional 22 cases over a 2-year period.

    • Main Results:

    • Sixty-one MMPI protocols with Scale 5 two-point codes were identified, representing 6% of the initial sample.
    • Composite descriptions were developed for eight distinct code types.
    • Base rates and descriptive statistics were compiled for most code types.

    Conclusions:

    • MMPI two-point codes involving Scale 5 represent a specific subgroup of patients.
    • Detailed descriptions and base rates aid in understanding and interpreting these profiles.
    • Further research will present findings for the 5-0/0-5 code type.
