✦ Synopsis

Since its introduction, the M i i I -2 has been used as an equivalent to the MMPI. However, the clinical correlates of MMPI-2 profiles are still being investigated. This study examined the MMM-2 profiles of 217 male pre-trial defendants. Data indicated mean scale elevations over 65 on F, 8, 6, 7, 1, 2, and 1 (in descending order); and mean content scale elevations on DEP, BIZ, HEA, and TRT. The most frequently elevated scales were 6, F, and 2. The most fi-equently elevated content scales were CYN, DEP, and ANX. The most common 2-point code was a 6-8/84 for subjects charged with both violent and nonviolent offenses.

The F-K Index was greater than 11 in 22% of the subjects.

Generalizability of these data and suggestions for h t u r e research are discussed.
