Abstract

This article examines the relationship between cognitive-neuropsychological abilities and related psychological disturbance, as measured by the Rorschach and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Psychiatric patients typically have a long-standing history of emotional disturbance as well as neuropsychological dysfunction, but how the two domains are integrated is not clearly understood. We hypothesized that, through the use of factor analysis, indices of neuropsychological and personality assessment would form distinct, but not orthogonal, constructs. The historical roots, past research, theoretical formulations, and implications for future research in the area of neuropsychology of personality assessment are presented.
