This study was attempted to identify MMPI profile characteristics of social phobic patients. Also it was investigated to find the differences between offensive type and non-offensive type for social phobia. Fifty-seven social phobic patients were selected based on DSM-III-R and DSM-IV criteria, and their MMPI responses were analysed. The results showed that the specific codetype was not found for the whole social phobic patients, but showed elevated scores on the 7, 2 and 0 scales over 60T score. Compared offensive type with non-offensive type, both profile pattern was similar but had differences in the L, 2 and 7 scales. Especially, the 2 and 7 scales were elevated scores on 70.0T and 69.4T score in offensive type. These results suggest that 2-7 codetype might be a specific codetype of offensive type. The clinical implication and limitation of present study were discussed.
