Development of a three-scale MMPI: the MMPI-TRI

Article Abstract:

The MMPI-TRI psychological test, a 60-item short form of the Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory (MMPI), has been developed. The shorter MMPI has suitable internal consistency, independence, and high content validity. The MMPI-TRI provides three special scales of MMPI: acting out, subjective distress, and psychosis. Schizophrenics, prison inmates, and other psychotic groups had the highest mean scores on acting out, psychosis, and subjective distress. The instrumentation and norms of MMPI-TRI are discussed.
