Extracted the MMPI‐168 and Faschingbauer Abbreviated MMPI (FAM), along with the K scale items normally excluded from those MMPI shor forms, from the full MMPIs of about 535 psychiatric inpatients. Those scales augmented by K items were used to estimate full MMPI scores via regression and substitution equations. The equations were cross‐validated on samples of about 545 from the same population. Shrinkage was minimal and cross‐validation estimates compared favorably with derivation estimates from other short‐form studies.
