The MMPI profiles of forty suicidal and forty non-suicidal male and female depressed patients, matched for age, were compared. Significant differences between MMPI scale T scores which showed some sex specificity were found between the suicidal and non-suicidal depressives. These results replicate previous findings. However neither individual scale T scores, derived discriminant functions, nor actuarial or cluster analysis-derived MMPI profiles could completely discriminate between suicidal and non-suicidal depressed inpatients of either sex. The relevance and implications of these findings to the ascertainment of suicidal risk are discussed.
对40名有自杀倾向和40名无自杀倾向的抑郁患者（年龄匹配）的明尼苏达多相人格测验（MMPI）剖面图进行了比较，这些患者包括男性和女性。在有自杀倾向和无自杀倾向的抑郁症患者之间，发现MMPI量表T分数存在显著差异，且具有一定的性别特异性。这些结果重复了先前的发现。然而，无论是单个量表的T分数、导出的判别函数，还是基于精算或聚类分析得出的MMPI剖面图，都无法完全区分有自杀倾向和无自杀倾向的男女住院抑郁症患者。讨论了这些发现与自杀风险确定的相关性和意义。
