The 3-4-/4-3 MMPI Code Type in an Offender Population: An Update on Levels of Hostility and Violence.

O'Sullivan, Michael J.; Jemelka, Ron P.

Psychological Assessment, v5 n4 p493-98 Dec 1993

Levels of hostility and type of crime were compared in 94 male offenders with 3-4 or 4-3 Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) high point pairs and in randomly selected offenders without these pairs. Results do not support these codes as evidence of a proclivity for violence. (SLD)
