Abstract
Comparison of the MMPI and Mini-Mult scales yielded significant scale-by-scale correlations. However, the group means were different in 6 of the 11 possible scales, and there was a general tendency for the Mini-Mult to over-estimate MMPI scales. The Mini-Mult proved to be highly ineffective to detect MMPI invalid profiles. In addition, agreement on profile configurations or high points and degree of pathology as indicated by number of significant clinical scale elevations was very poor. The results of this investigation are similar to the findings of Rybolt and Lambert (1975), as well as those of Platt and Scura (1972), and lead one to recommend that the Mini-Mult not be employed as a clonical assessment instrument with incarcerated adult female populations. Its multiple deficits make clinical use hazardous.
