Abstract
One hundred ten undergraduates were administered the standard Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory which was scored for the standard profile and for a shortened version of the same inventory. The study was designed to explore the usefulness of a short version of the MMPI in a university counseling center. Correlations were obtained between corresponding scales on both forms for males and females separately. Although Pearson product-moment correlations for both sexes were statistically significant, they were not of the magnitude to predict scale scores on one form from the other. In addition, an examination of the profiles suggested that the short version could not provide clinical data comparable to those of the standard form. Implications for further research were made.
