FACTOR STRUCTURE OF THE MCMI-III

The factor structure of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (Mill on, 1994; MCMI-III) was assessed among 444 African American inpatient substance abusers and constitutes the first factor analysis of the MCI MI-III. We found 3 main factors: General Maladjustment, Paranoid Behav ior/Thinking With Detached Emotionality, and Antisocial Acting Out. Th ese factors were essentially similar to previous findings of factor st udies with the MCMI and MCMI-II across diverse populations. This facto r invariance should lend credibility to the revised test and spur addi tional research into its psychometric properties.
