Used the 16 PF in a group screening battery for psychiatric inpatients. Validation was carried out using psychiatric diagnoses as the criterion. Four hundred and sixty-three patients were grouped into eight traditional diagnostic groups. Discriminant analysis was used to predict group membership and multivariate profile analysis was used to compared group means. No differences in profile elevation or shape were found, and four discriminant functions could classify correctly only 22% of the patients. Results indicated that the 16 PF is unsuitable for discriminating among psychiatric diagnostic groups.
在一组精神病住院患者的筛查中使用了16种人格因素问卷（16PF）。以精神病诊断为标准进行效度验证。463名患者被分为八个传统诊断组。采用判别分析预测组归属，多元轮廓分析比较组均值。未发现轮廓高度或形状有差异，四个判别函数仅能正确分类22%的患者。结果表明，16PF不适用于区分精神病诊断组。
