Derived multiple regression equations that permitted estimation of MMPI scores from the Mini‐Mult, from data on 165 patients. These transformations were evaluated on 58 patients from the same population and on 46 patients from a similar population. The practicality of estimating SI scores from data in the Mini‐Mult also was investigated. The Mini‐Mult, under these restricted conditions, performed at a level comparable to the MMPI‐168 (using standard estimation procedures) in terms of usual measures of correspondence to the full MMPI. Prediction of SI scores from the Mini‐Mult was only marginally adequate.
