We evaluated the validity of a profile typology for the Personality Inventory for Children (PIC), a parent-informant measure of child psychiatric status. For referred children, we studied (a) the convergence of PIC profile types with diagnoses according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (3rd ed., American Psychiatric Association, 1980) and (b) the incremental validity of the PIC over diagnoses in the prediction of symptom ratings completed by teachers and clinicians. We found a high diagnosis-PIC correspondence only for developmentally disordered children; the overlap for children with emotional-conduct problems was poor. For the latter group, however, the correlation of diagnoses with symptom ratings was low, but the incremental validity of the PIC over diagnoses was high. We discuss the use of this profile typology in the clinical evaluation of children and present a case example.
我们评估了儿童个性量表（PIC）的一种剖面图类型学的有效性，该量表是一种由家长提供信息来衡量儿童精神状态的工具。对于转诊儿童，我们研究了：（a）根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》（第3版，美国精神病学协会，1980年），PIC剖面图类型与诊断结果的一致性；以及（b）在预测教师和临床医生完成的症状评分方面，PIC相对于诊断结果的增量效度。我们发现，仅在发育障碍儿童中，诊断结果与PIC之间存在高度对应；而对于有情绪行为问题的儿童，两者的重叠性较差。然而，对于后一组儿童，诊断结果与症状评分之间的相关性较低，但PIC相对于诊断结果的增量效度较高。我们讨论了这种剖面图类型学在儿童临床评估中的应用，并给出了一个案例。
