The relation of the MMPI to the Edwards personal preference schedule on a college counseling center sample.

Abstract
"The correlations between the scales of the PPS and the MMPI on a college counseling center sample are not high. The relative ratings of a client's needs as he views them on the PPS may or may not indicate the presence of personality symptom formation as defined by the MMPI. This finding is not surprising in view of the fact that the PPS is an ipsative scale which does not reflect the absolute level of need and the fact that psychiatric diagnoses, crucial to the construction of the MMPI, are often related more to the manner of satisfying need than to the nature of the needs themselves. However, where relationships are found they tend to be consistent with MMPI research data." 16 references. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
