Investigation of cluster analysis as a grouping procedure for MMPI

Diagnostic utility of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory for objective diagnostic classifications

“…Given the popularity of another configurai classification strategy, MMPI code types (e.g., Marks & Seeman, 1963;Giiberstadt & Duker, 1965), another limitation of this study involves the lack of comparison between code type groups versus multivariate classifications for subjects in RDC psychopathological groups. Such results would have provided valuable information to complement previous studies (e.g., Toenjes, 1977). However, this was precluded due to the small number of profiles which had identifiable code types.…”
