Summary: | The MCMI‐II is becoming more widely used in both clinical practice and research settings. From a research perspective, one area that has not received a great deal of attention is high‐point codes. While the MMPI has a very lengthy history of high‐point code analysis and ancillary interpretative manuals, the MCMI‐II has no such traditional data base. The present study determined the prevalence of single and two‐point high codes in a large sample of VA patients. Additionally, associated severe personality scales and clinical syndrome scales are delineated as a function of the 20 most common profiles. These 20 common profiles accounted for 82% of the patients. |
