abstract="Following a suggestion by Warren (1971) two inmate classification systems were cross-tabulated to examine the concordance between them. Jesness Sequential I-level ratings and MMPI types were obtained on a sample of inmates admitted to a Federal Corrections Institution. I-level subtypes and MMPI types were collapsed into subsets and cross-tabulated. Although there was a significant chi-square, the only groups that appear to be concordant between the systems are those that each system labels as most pathological. Regression analysis provided support for this finding, as only a small proportion of the variance in I-level is accounted for by MMPI. It appears that MMPI and I-level, while both capable of classifying inmates, perform their classifications on different dimensions.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
