Changes in mean elevation, dispersion, overall configuration, and code type of well‐defined MMPI profiles were examined after transformation to estimated MMPI‐2 profiles. A total of 34 MMPI profiles from both Gilberstadt and Duker (1965) and Marks, Seeman, and Haller (1974) were analyzed using contemporary MMPI‐2 T‐scores. Results yielded a reduction in mean elevation and both increases and decreases in scatter about the mean upon transformation to MMPI‐2 norms. The total configuration of linear MMPI and estimated MMPI‐2 T‐score profiles correlated highly with each other and manifested a similar pattern of correlation with the total configuration of Skinner and Jackson's (1978) three modal MMPI types.
