Gathered MMPI and demographic data on six groups of 25 men each who had been remanded by the courts to a maximum security psychiatric hospital for pretrial assessment. The groups differed according to offense type: Murder or attempted murder of a family member or girlfriend, murder or attempted murder of an unrelated victim, rape, arson, child molesting, or property. The MMPI profiles of the groups were remarkably similar, and the prediction that the murder family group would have the highest Overcontrolled Hostility scores was not supported. Multiple discriminant analyses showed that the remand's age on admission and whether he had been in corrections before the current offense were the best discriminators among the groups. These data indicate that the MMPI is not related to the offense types of mentally disordered offenders referred by the courts for assessment, but does reflect their relatively high levels of psychopathology.
收集了六组男性的明尼苏达多相人格测验（MMPI）和人口统计学数据，每组25人，他们均被法院送交一家最高安全级别的精神病院进行审前评估。这些组根据犯罪类型而有所不同：谋杀或企图谋杀家庭成员或女友、谋杀或企图谋杀无关受害者、强奸、纵火、猥亵儿童或财产犯罪。这些组的MMPI剖面图非常相似，关于谋杀家庭成员组的过度控制敌意得分最高的预测未得到支持。多元判别分析表明，被送交者入院时的年龄以及在当前犯罪之前是否曾被监禁是这些组之间最佳的判别因素。这些数据表明，MMPI与法院送交评估的精神错乱罪犯的犯罪类型无关，但确实反映了他们相对较高的精神病理学水平。
