In a sample of 261 state hospital sexual offenders, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) profiles did not differ for offenders with adult victims versus offenders with child victims when offender age was controlled. MMPI 2-point analyses for the whole sample revealed five common codes that were independent of victim maturity. The sample was randomly divided in half and subjected to a cluster-analytic procedure which revealed two MMPI clusters. The first cluster was unelevated, with Scale 4 as its high point. The second cluster had multiple elevations, with Scales 8, 4, 2, and 7 as the highest scales. These clusters were replicated in a cluster analysis of the second half of the sample. However, when the sample was recombined, the two clusters were not externally validated basis on demographic and criminological variables. The results suggest that common psychological variables among sexual offenders may have more discriminative value than victim maturity in developing sexual offender taxonomies.
在一个由261名州立医院性犯罪者组成的样本中，当控制犯罪者年龄时，针对成年受害者的犯罪者与针对儿童受害者的犯罪者的明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）剖面图并无差异。对整个样本的MMPI两点分析揭示了五个与受害者成熟度无关的常见编码。样本被随机分成两半，并进行聚类分析程序，结果揭示了两个MMPI聚类。第一个聚类未升高，以量表4为最高点。第二个聚类有多个升高点，以量表8、4、2和7为最高量表。这些聚类在对样本后半部分的聚类分析中得到了重复。然而，当样本重新组合时，基于人口统计学和犯罪学变量，这两个聚类并未得到外部验证。结果表明，在制定性犯罪者分类法时，性犯罪者之间常见的心理变量可能比受害者成熟度具有更大的区分价值。
