“…(Pa -Hy) showed a good separation among a subset of cases not discriminable by the band method, and had several armchair features to recommend it. Neither of the component scales contains a suppressor correction (McKinley, Hathaway, & Meehl, 1950;Meehl & Hathaway, 1946); both scales have numerous "subtle" items involving denial of pathology and the self-image of normality, rationality, and psychic health (Gough, 1954;Meehl, 1950a;Meehl & Hathaway, 1946;Seeman, 1952Seeman, , 1953Wiener, 1948Wiener, , 1951; both are extrapunitive or impunitive rather than intropunitive, tending to manipulate the environment or to develop symptoms and traits involving less subjective discomfort and anxiety. Both are associated with an inability to "think psychologically," marked lack of insight, and resentment of psychiatric exploration.…”

This study attempted t o extend the applicability of the Midi-Rlult to psychiat,ric inpatients. While high correspondence of group mean data and high comparability in identifying valid and invalid profiles resulted, analysis of individual profile pairs revealed a lack of correspondence with respect to scale high point codes and general profile elevations. The Midi-Mult seems to have limited applicability with hospitalized psychiatric patients. ARMENTROUT, J. A. Correspondence of the MMPI and 3lini-Mult in a college population. ARMENTROUT, J.

“…It is the relationship between Hy and Pd-in inferential statement, a relationship between the repressive, inhibitory tendencies of the patient, and his propensity for "acting out" whatever impulses he may have. The "significance" which it yields here has little meaning, but the sign does not appear to be mentioned in other studies [4,5] and might be worth including in future investigations of this type.…”

The MMPI was administered to 36 veterans who indicated a desire to be embalmers and made this their training objective after counseling. The control group consisted of 100 veterans who came to the same guidance centers for counseling during the same period of time, but who decided upon other vocational objectives. Comparison of the test results from the two groups indicate that there are no strongly deviate personality characteristics among the embalmer trainees. The strongest possibility for an interpretation of uniqueness lies in the elevated hypochondriasis. Other tendencies, which counselors and psychiatrists have suspected, were not substantiated.
