“…Considering the manner in which the scales were constructed, it is argued that the factors attributable to the overlapping items validly represent the similarity of the criteria against which the scales were validated. Wakefield, Yom, Bradley, Doughtie, Cox, and Kraft (1974) have demonstrated that 9 of the 10 clinical scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory conform to Eysenck's (1970) three-dimensional model of personality. The three theoretical dimensions are neuroticism, psychoticism, and extraversion.…”

“…If the general traits neuroticism, psychoticism, and extraversion are validly measured by the overlapping items and more specific traits measured by nonoverlapping items, an analysis such as that of Wakefield et*al. (1974) of scales scored for the two types of items should yield a certain pattern.…”

“…As in the Wakefield et al (1974) study, distances between scales were computed and compared for relative magnitude. There were 176 comparisons of two distances derived from the theoretical arrangement of MMPI scales according to Eysenck's (1970) theory.…”

“…Eysenck (1992b) argues too that alternative dimensional models can be reduced to three rather than five factors. For example, Wakefield, Yom, Bradley, Doughtie and Cox (1974) have shown how MMPI scales may be located within the space defined by the E, N and P axes.…”

Personality research has made considerable progress in developing dimensional models. This article reviews the application of these trait models to clinical theory and practice. Assessment of traits is useful for understanding the individual client, for diagnosis and therapy, and for tailoring the clinical interview to the needs of the patient. Dimensional models have been applied to several areas of pathology. Neuroticism and a variety of other traits are implicated in subclinical stress reactions. At the process level, the effects of traits such as neuroticism may be mediated by maladaptive coping strategies. Traits such as neuroticism may also have a causal effect on more severe mood and anxiety disorders, although it is likely that there are reciprocal linkages between personality and pathology. As with subclinical stress, traits may influence depression and anxiety through abnormality of cognitive processes, the clinical significance of which should be assessed in the light of the individual's trait characteristics. A further area of application is personality disorder: Dimensional models capture and clarify the principal clinical features of conditions such as schizoid and antisocial disorders. It is concluded that the dimensional approach provides a framework for the systematic understanding of clinical expressions of abnormality in personality and their implications for diagnosis and treatment.

To test the hypothesis that overlapping items of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory scales measure factors common to the criterion groups associated with the scales, three scales were constructed. The neurotic overlap scale contained items shared by more than one neurotic scale. The psychotic overlap scale contained items shared by more than one psychotic scale. The maladjustment overlap scale contained items shared by both a neurotic and a psychotic scale. These scales were validated against clinical psychotic and neurotic groups and two normal control groups. The results support the hypothesis and the validity of the three new scales.
