Relationships among Arrow-Dot IES Scores and Wechsler IQS and MMPI Scales for Hospitalized, Disturbed Adolescents

Abstract

24 disturbed adolescents in a psychiatric hospital were administered the Arrow-Dot test, Wechsler Intelligence Scale, and the MMPI. On the Arrow-Dot test the I-score is higher and the E-score lower, on the average, than is typical of this age range in normal populations. The MMPI profile shows an over-all elevation typical of psychological disturbance and a profile code of 8-4 which is characteristic of disturbed adolescents. The Arrow-Dot I-score was moderately and positively correlated with the Pd scale. The S-score was moderately and positively correlated with the F, Hs, and Ma scales and moderately and negatively correlated with IQ and Intellectual Efficiency scale. The E-scores were moderately and positively correlated with IQ and the Intellectual Efficiency scale and moderately and negatively correlated with most of the clinical pathology scales— F, Hs, Hy, Pd, Pa, Pt, and Sc. These results indicate that the Arrow-Dot test does seem to be validly measuring personality factors involved in ego-functions.
