The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) has been interpreted as a measure of DSM-III disorders. However, the MCMI was constructed and validated primarily as a measure of Millon's (1969, 1981) taxonomy, not DSM-III. Comparison of the two taxonomies and examination of the MCMI's content validity for two of the MCMI scales indicate only a partial congruence between the Millon and DSM-III taxonomies. There has been no published empirical research concerning the relationship between the MCMI and DSM-III, and the derivation and cross-validation research for the MCMI scales employed Millon's taxonomy and not DSM-III. It is suggested that until such data have been presented one should be cautious in one's interpretation of the MCMI as a measure of DSM-III disorders.
米隆临床多轴问卷（MCMI）一直被视为对《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（DSM - III）中各种障碍的一种测量工具。然而，MCMI主要是依据米隆（1969年、1981年）的分类法构建并验证的，而非DSM - III。对这两种分类法的比较以及对MCMI两个量表的内容效度的检验表明，米隆分类法与DSM - III分类法之间仅存在部分一致性。目前尚无关于MCMI与DSM - III之间关系的已发表实证研究，并且MCMI量表的推导和交叉验证研究采用的是米隆分类法而非DSM - III。建议在有此类数据呈现之前，人们在将MCMI解释为DSM - III障碍的测量工具时应谨慎行事。
