“…In terestingly, whenever this average profile appears, the group reflecting it seems to consist predominantly of females and the groups tend to be among the oldest, on the average. This is in line with two-point code results as reported by Marks and Seeman (1963), Lachar (1968), andWebb (1971). It seems that there must be some similarities between the configura tions of these clusters and the traditional 1-3/3-1 twopoint code such that group members reflect similar character istics .…”

“…Also, male profiles seemed to be groups 4,7, and 9 (two-point codes 7-8/8-7, 8-9/9-8, and 2-7/7-2) while female profiles seemed to be groups 1, 8 and 10 (two-point codes 4-6/6-4, 4-9/9-4, and 1-3/3-1), Of the three male profiles, only the 7-8/8-7 profile was found to be composed primarily of males. The other two profiles did not seem to be related to sex according to Webb, (1971). Of the three female profiles, 1-3/3-1 and 4-6/6-4 profiles were found also by Webb (1971) to be predominantly female profiles while 4-9/9-4 did not seem to be sex related.…”

The race vari able was not significant in any of the results of this re search, probably because only 20 black profiles were selected.…”

“…In the study of two-point codes in relation to sex, Webb (1971) completed an extensive study of 12,000 psychiat ric patients. Of the two-point codes to be examined in this study, Webb found the following codes more frequent among males than females: 1-2/2-1, 2-8/8-2, 7-8/8-7, 1-3/3-1, 2-4/4-2, 4-6/6-4, and 4-8/8-4 profiles occurred more often among females than males, while 2-7/7-2, 6-8/8-6, 6-9/9-6, 8-9/9-8, and 4-9/9-4 profiles occurred with equal frequency among sexes.…”

Examined MMPI profiles in a sample of 345 patients who were referred for neuropsychological evaluation because of known or suspected brain damage in an effort to determine how these profiles compare to MMPI profiles among general mental health outpatients. The relationship between the severity of brain damage as determined by the neuropsychological evaluation and the severity of emotional problems as reflected by the MMPI also was examined. A third part of the study focused on two MMPI “organic” codes (“29” and “139”) to determine whether these code types reflect brain disorders at greater than chance level. Results indicate that a large majority of neuropsychology patients exhibit significant emotional problems as evidenced by one or more scale elevations on the MMPI. These patients differ considerably from general outpatients in terms of the scales most frequently elevated. In contrast to earlier findings, present results suggest only a low relationship between the severity of emotional problems and the severity of brain damage with much of this relationship reflected in SC scale elevations.
