The factor scales were significantly more accurate than the conventional clinical scales in discriminating alcoholic from nonalcoholic patients. Whereas no single clinical scale emerged as highly important to the discrimination, Factor III emerged as very important to it. The possibility that Factor III represents an "alcoholic" factor was raised. From this study, it appears that the factor scales represent a more refined scoring version of the MMPI item pool.
在区分酒精性患者和非酒精性患者方面,因子量表比传统临床量表显著更准确。虽然没有单一的临床量表对这种区分显得极为重要,但因子III对其显得非常重要。有人提出因子III代表一个“酒精性”因子的可能性。从这项研究来看,因子量表似乎是明尼苏达多项人格调查表项目库的一个更精细的计分版本。
