With a sample of 84 adult patients newly admitted to the forensic unit of a metropolitan psychiatric hospital, we evaluated the psychometric properties of the Holden Psychological Screening Inventory (HPSI). Results indicated that HPSI scales were reliable, and item factor analysis confirmed the HPSI's scoring key and latent structure. Correlations and joint factor analysis with scales from the MMPI‐2 and Jackson's Basic Personality Inventory demonstrated the convergent validity of HPSI scales and their sampling adequately from the major components of psychopathology. Overall, findings build toward the clinical construct validity of the HPSI.
