The article states that thirty one outpatients seen in a university clinic were given a complete battery of psychological tests, including the MMPI, and an interview. After evaluating all he material, with the exception of the MMPI, the psychologist was asked to fill out a copy of T.F. Leary's Interpersonal Adjective Check List on the patient in terms of how he is likely to be perceived by people in general. This study has tended to validate Leary's system of predicting "Public" behavior from MMPI formulae in part, in that Affection and Hostility are apparently predictable validly from the MMPI as judged by the criterion herein employed.
