Abstract
A step-wise discriminant function analysis identified demographic, personality, and intellectual variables that differentiate categories of felony offenders. Male inmates (N = 766) were categorized according to their most recent offense (Person, Property, Drug, or Indecent Liberties). Each completed the 16PF and the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery. A significant discriminant function was obtained, with loadings on the variables of age, substance abuse history, and the 16PF factors of Boldness and Intelligence. The function correctly classified 42.6% of the inmates into their offense category.
