Variants of the MMPI 2-7-8 Code Type: Schizotypal Correlates of High Point 2,7, or 8

Abstract

Our study sought to evaluate whether examination of the high-point scale among subjects with a 2-7-8 parent configuration on the MMPI could assist in the identification of individuals with schizotypal features. Additionally, this study compared male 2-7-8 subjects to female 2-7-8 subjects to determine whether gender mediates endorsement of items associated with these features. Subjects (N = 106) who produced a 2-7-8 parent profile were subdivided according to high point (2, 7, or 8), and the three subgroups were subsequently compared on other self-report measures associated with schizotypal attributes. Subgroup comparisons revealed that the High 8 and High 2 groups produced a pattern of responding consistent with schizotypal characteristics. In contrast, the at-risk status of the High 7 group appears doubtful. Comparisons based on gender generally revealed no differences among female and male 2-7-8 subjects.
