An attempt was made to confirm clinical validity of MMPI-168 through comparison of clinical interpretation between the original MMPI and MMPI-168 on the basis of high-point codes. MMPI and the psychiatric symptom checklist were administered to 133 psychiatric patients including 59 males and 74 females. Clinical symptoms and diagnoses from the high-point codes of both original and short-form MMPI were compared and no significant difference was found between the two forms of MMPI in terms of clinical characteristics and diagnoses. This study provided with a rational basis for clinicians to use MMPI-168 in place of the original MMPI for differential diagnosis as well as clinical description of psychiatric patients although further replication is needed to confirm the present results.
