In an attempt to identify the existence of reasoning errors in psychiatric patients, the performance of male narcotic users defined as sociopathic ( N = 36) and schizotypic ( N = 34) by MMPI profile patterns was analyzed for avoidable errors on the Ravens Progressive Matrices (RPM). An avoidable error was defined as a failure to solve an item whose difficulty level was within the testee's range of ability as measured by his performance. Construct validity was defined in terms of the intercorrelations of Ravens centile and item difficulty levels. Parametric and non-parametric tests of significance indicated that the schizotypic group commit significantly more identifiable reasoning errors than the sociopathic group.

This study showed that changes in degree of suicidal syndrome were difficult to detect in MMPI profiles. Any changes which occurred were in terms of a person's own profile characteristics. Interperson profile changes did not decrease significantly with increases in suicidal intent. It was suggested that suicidal persons with different clinical syndromes have also different suicidal syndromes. This would indicate that the establishment of suicidal MMPI profile syndromes can best be accomplished if persons with homogeneous rather than the heterogeneous syndromes are grouped together for comparison purposes.
