The validity of the MMPI with multiple sclerosis patients.

Prior research findings have suggested that physical illness is a factor that can affect patients' scores on the MMPI. In this study, responses of patients (N = 83) with diagnosed multiple sclerosis, (MS) were compared with those of the original MMPI control group. MMPI items were categorized as either representing the physical effects of MS or not being related to the physical effects of MS. Item and scale analysis indicated that for MS patients, endorsement of items that reflected the neurological disease process led to artificial elevation of four clinical scales. The authors concluded that physical illness should be considered as an independent factor that can influence the validity of MMPI interpretations.

Neuropsychological test performance of normal, learning-disabled, and brain-damaged older children.

The performance of 75 brain-damaged, learning-disabled, and normal children aged 9 to 14 years was compared on 13 neuropsychological test measures. Analysis of variance, supplemented by t-tests, indicated a significant difference beyond the .01 level on 11 measures and beyond the .05 level on one measure. A discriminant analysis based on weightings of the 13 measures yielded 80 per cent correct classification of subjects, a finding in agreement with the outcome of the multivariate analysis of variance. The results indicated that these psychological measures were individually sensitive to differences among the three categories of subjects and, as a group, were capable of classifying children at a level far exceeding chance. It would appear that neuropsychological variables (brain-sensitive tests) may account for much of the uniqueness in many children with learning disabilities.
