Abstract
Separate duster analyses of MCMI profiles were conducted with a sample of 603 offenders, consisting of child molesters (N=202), adult rapists (N=195), and non-sexually aggressive felons (N=206). The personality styles of dependent and narcissistic-antisocial appeared both across and within sexual offender groups. A subgroup of relatively normal or mild personality traits associated with narcissism and compulsive traits also appeared across groups. Results suggest that the personality styles of sexual offenders is heterogeneous, but that the styles of dependent and narcissistic-antisocial are more prevalent with this population.
