Assessed and compared the interpretive accuracy of the standard MMPI and two MMPI short forms with a sample of geriatric psychiatric inpatients ( N = 104). Psychiatric teams evaluated the accuracy of the interpretation of the various MMPIs. Standard form interpretations were rated significantly greater than the interpretations obtained from either of the short forms.
