MCMI-II high-point codes: Severe personality disorder and clinical syndrome extensions

Abstract

The MCMI-II is becoming more widely used in both clinical practice and research settings. From a research perspective, one area that has not received a great deal of attention is high-point codes. While the MMPI has a very lengthy history of high-point code analysis and ancillary interpretative manuals, the MCMI-II has no such traditional data base. The present study determined the prevalence of single and two-point high codes in a large sample of VA patients. Additionally, associated severe personality scales and clinical syndrome scales are delineated as a function of the 20 most common profiles. These 20 common profiles accounted for 82% of the patients.
