TLDR
MMPI profiles from a random sample of physical (nonpsychiatric) disability insurance claimants were compared with those of general medical patients, matched for age and sex, seen at the Mayo Clinic, confirming earlier clinical findings that between 35 and 44 percent of the physical disability sample suffered from moderate to severe psychoneuroses or personality disorders.Abstract:
MMPI profiles from a random sample of 1,064 physical (nonpsychiatric) disability insurance claimants were compared with those of 14,306 general medical patients, matched for age and sex, seen at the Mayo Clinic. In contrast with the latter, the disability insurance claimants produced mean profiles in the clinically significant range. These results confirm earlier clinical findings that between 35 and 44 percent of the physical disability sample suffered from moderate to severe psychoneuroses or personality disorders.read more

The dynamics of "structured" personality tests.
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of clinical psycholo- gists in the military services were described, with which the present writer is familiar only indirectly: the utility of any instrument in the medical situation can be most competently assessed by those in contact with clinical material in that situation, and the present paper is in no sense to be construed as an answer to or an attempted refutation of Hutt's remarks.
