Abstract
The MMPIs and SVIBs of 107 psychiatric patients were factor analyzed to investigate the possibility of factors common to the two tests. Six factors were derived, two made up of MMPI scales and four of SVIB scales. Correlations between rotated factors and correlations between factor scores indicated some significant relationships between personality and interests in a psychiatric population. For example, in a psychiatric population there is a tendency for disorganization of thinking to be greater in a group whose primary interests are in the verbal linguistic area.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
