Abstract
Using the Test-Retest (TR) Index, male psychiatric inpatients (N = 87) with very high MMPI F scale scores (T greater than 90) were designated either consistent or inconsistent responders. Inconsistent MMPI responding was associated with psychotic thought disorder and abstract reasoning deficits, which suggests that these Ss were too confused to conscientiously complete the MMPI. Consistent responders endorsed more obvious pathological items of the MMPI. The two groups did not differ in vocabulary intelligence, and their mean MMPI profiles were very similar. Uses of the TR Index for clarifying the meaning of high F MMPI profiles are discussed.
