Age Effects on Active Duty Army MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) Profiles

Abstract

Age affects on response patterns to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory have been recognized by the creation of separate norms for adolescent, adults and aged adults. This study examined the effects of age within a normal Army adult male population on MMPI response pattern. Of the validity and clinical scales only scales L, 3 (Hysteria) and 5 (Masculinity- Feminity) showed no significant age effects. Scale means and percentage of respondents scoring above 70T (non-K-corrected Minnesota Adult Norms) across age groups both showed scale age clusters which substantiate the need for age appropriate norms within the adult Army male population.
