Medical students scoring high on the hostility scale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory had markedly elevated coronary risk when followed up 25 years later. Authors writing about the use of tests such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory in its two versions, or the various versions of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory correctly point out that these instruments do not identify individuals with particular sexual disorders, nor have consistent subclasses of individuals been identified within disorders using either the MMPI or MCMI. It focuses on the standard written psychological tests such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, but fails to include other areas of psychological screening such as inconsistent objective findings, and the many short-form questionnaires that are now in use and that may be given by nonpsychologists to determine the need for psychologic intervention. |
