Abstract
Since neuropsychologic tests largely have failed to separate schizophrenic from brain-damaged patients, an MMPI key was constructed to make such a separation. When cross-validated, this key provided a 76% correct separation and achi2 significant beyond the .001 level for 50 schizophrenic and 50 brain-damaged profiles. Neuropsychologic tests should be used to separate normals from brain-damaged patients and the MMPI to separate schizophrenic from brain-damaged patients.Keywords
