The eight basic personality scales of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) were derived from Millon's theory of personality, but the adequacy of the MCMI for measuring Millon's personality constructs has never been assessed. One major problem with using factor analysis to illuminate the structure of the MCMI personality scales is that artifactual structure may result from item overlap among the scales. To analyze this, item-overlap coefficients were factored and compared to the factor structures of five subject samples. For the eight basic personality scales, three factors emerged for the overlap matrix and each of the five sample matrices: Aloof-Social, Aggressive-Submissive, and Lability-Restraint. It was concluded that these three factors are inconsistent with Millon's theory and that they will be found artifactually across a wide variety of populations due to overlapping items.
明尼苏达临床多轴问卷（MCMI）的八个基本人格量表源自米隆的人格理论，但MCMI在测量米隆人格结构方面的充分性从未得到评估。使用因素分析来阐明MCMI人格量表结构的一个主要问题是，量表之间的项目重叠可能导致人为结构。为了对此进行分析，对项目重叠系数进行了因素分析，并与五个受试者样本的因素结构进行了比较。对于八个基本人格量表，重叠矩阵和五个样本矩阵中的每一个都出现了三个因素：冷漠-社交、攻击性-顺从性和情绪易变-克制性。得出的结论是，这三个因素与米隆的理论不一致，并且由于项目重叠，它们会在各种各样的人群中人为地出现。
