This study examines the clinical utility of the MMPI-168 in psychiatric settings. Subjects were 213 psychiatric patients of both sexes. Not only correlation coefficients or group mean comparisons between standard MMPI and MMPI-168 but also difference score and correspondence of individual profile-pairs were examined. Correlations were also generally within acceptable limits, but difference scores were too large and correspondence of individual profile-pairs was limited. These results suggested that using MMPI-168 in psychiatric settings instead of standard MMPI is undesirable.
