Abstract

Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory profiles of two groups of DWI (driving while intoxicated) offenders were compared. One group (n = 69) had been arrested only once for DWI, whereas the second (n = 46) had been arrested at least once for DWI and at least one additional time for DWI or other alcohol-related incidents. All subjects were enlisted active duty US Air Force or US Army males, and the two groups were matched for age, rank, years of service, education, and distribution of race and marital status. The hypothesis was that multiple offenders would score higher than one-time offenders on scales 2 (depression), 4 (sociopathy), and 9 (mania). The hypothesis was confirmed only for scale 2, with scale 4 approaching significance.
