Peer reviewedMegargee, Edwin I. – Psychological Assessment, 1997
A Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) based classification system (E. I. Megargee, 1977) was extended to female prisoners, using MMPI results for 400 inmates. Using revised rules for classifying the original MMPIs and MMPI-2s, 386 women could be classified on both versions, and 87% were classified identically. (SLD)

Peer reviewedMegargee, Edwin I. – Psychological Assessment, 1994
Results of two studies with 1,635 male offenders on the impact of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) on the Megargee offender classification system indicate that the original Megargee rules should not be used to classify MMPI-2s. A new set of classification rules is proposed. (SLD)
