Compared 40 violent and 40 nonviolent male prisoners on a 31-variable neuropsychological test battery and the MMPI. The two groups differed significantly in their responses to both neuropsychological tests and the MMPI. Ss could be classified correctly as violent or nonviolent with 95% accuracy by use of the neuropsychological test battery alone. The MMPI alone correctly classed 79%. The relative behavioral impairment seen on neuropsychological tests is interpreted as part of a general pattern of poor intellectual integration cortical inhibition associated with the presumed greater prevalence of brain dysfunction in samples of violent persons. Simple and rather specific perceptual, cognitive, and psychomotor tests such as found in neuropsychological assessment batteries add significantly to the identification of potentially violent persons and appear more powerful for this purpose than personality inventories.
对40名暴力男性囚犯和40名非暴力男性囚犯进行了包含31个变量的神经心理测试组及明尼苏达多项人格测验（MMPI）。两组在神经心理测试和MMPI的反应上存在显著差异。仅使用神经心理测试组，就能以95%的准确率将受试者正确分类为暴力或非暴力。仅MMPI的正确分类率为79%。神经心理测试中观察到的相对行为损伤被解释为与暴力人群样本中假定更高的脑功能障碍患病率相关的智力整合和皮层抑制不良的一般模式的一部分。神经心理评估组中诸如简单且相当特定的感知、认知和心理运动测试，能显著提高对潜在暴力者的识别能力，并且在此方面似乎比人格量表更有效。
