MMPI profiles of 10 psychiatric PG's have been compared with 10 medical PG's. The findings are discussed statistically and otherwise. Both the groups fall within the range of normal.

MMPI profiles of 22 chronic arthritic patients were compared to 22 control pain (nonorganic) patients. While elevations were noted in the HS, D, and Hy scales for the rheumatoid patients, the over-all profiles differed from controls on the PA scale.

To investigate the comparative advantages of data from group as compared to individual profiles, 233 group MMPI profiles were used to construct both sequential and simultaneous classification procedures for psychiatric diagnosis. Virtually perfect separation of the group profiles was accomplished by both procedures, the results ranging from 93% correct (psychotic versus neurotic) to 99% correct...

The operation of reliable response sets or stylistic consistencies has been frequently noted on personality and attitude scales with a true-false or agree-disagree format (cf. Cronbach, 1946, 1950; Fricke, 1956; Messick & Jackson, 1958).
