Examined behaviors associated with high‐point D scale scores on the MMPI for 1829 employed males who completed the test twice, 4 years apart. Ratings of being frequently nervous or upset and a decreased percentage of time in bed sleeping emerged as two stable variables that differed between Hi‐D and not high‐D scorers.
