With the use of Goldberg's method of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) analysis, evidence has been recently provided of a positive relationship between psychopathology and deficits in neuropsychological functioning in epileptic patients. The present study attempted to replicate this finding using more precise and appropriate criteria for grouping patients according to severity of neuropsychological impairment. Application of Goldberg's MMPI Rules to 34 temporal lobe epileptic patients grouped according to their neuropsychological status (nonimpaired or impaired) failed to support these findings. Possible reasons for the discrepant results, including differing methodologies and seizure patient characteristics across studies, are discussed.
运用明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）分析中的戈德堡方法，近期已有证据表明癫痫患者的精神病理学与神经心理功能缺陷之间存在正相关关系。本研究试图通过根据神经心理损害严重程度采用更精确且合适的标准对患者进行分组来重现这一发现。将戈德堡的MMPI规则应用于34名根据神经心理状态（未受损或受损）分组的颞叶癫痫患者，并未支持这些发现。文中讨论了结果存在差异的可能原因，包括不同的研究方法以及各研究中癫痫患者的特征差异。
