abstract = {: An MMPI scale was developed to predict responses to psychotherapy. An analysis of its content and its correlations with personality and intelligence tests leads the author to believe the scale is a measure of "ego-strength." Application of the instrument for clinical use and research is discussed, as well as its possible use as "a predictor in any situation in which an estimate of personal adaptability and resourcefulness is called for."
