An Analysis of the Highway Accidents Reported by 1,306 University Students

Two-point MMPI code distributions for a sample of 609 precollege students were compared with the code distributions of 701 precollege students obtained two years previously. The samples showed highly similar two-point code distributions. The same seven two-point code types occurred most frequently in both samples, and these same seven code types accounted for over 50% of the cases in both samples.

Further support was thus obtained for the hypothesis that Scale 5 is related more to IQ and/or education aspiration and/or socioeconomic status than years of education per se.. Also, the original base rate data on two-point code frequencies, including Scales 5 and 0, were replicated, providing reliable data on “normal” college males. Previous research of this nature with this population has typically omitted Scales 5 and 0.
