The potential utility of the MMPI 168 with male alcoholics was explored. Correlations and some clinically relevant comparisons suggested that the MMPI 168 predicted the standard MMPI with a high degree of accuracy. However, high point codes and conclusions drawn from Goldberg's equations were not so promising, which suggests the need to establish the relative validity of the MMPI 168 by the use of external criteria.
