AN EVALUATION OF THREE SHORT FORMS EXTRACTED FROM THE GROUP FORM MMPI RESPONSES OF INCARCERATED OFFENDERS.

This article presents an evaluation of three short forms extracted from the group from Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) responses of incarcerated offenders. Of the various possible procedures for short-form test administration the "extraction" method was chosen for this study. This common procedure involved simply rescoring each S's 566 MMPI responses with templates and conversion tables or linear transformations appropriate to each of the three short forms.
