Abstract
In a previous MMPI study (Kokosh, 1969) of 4-yr. graduates in physics, zoology, sociology, and history the 34–43 is the modal two-point MMPI code type in sociology and the 49–94 in history. In this study an attempt was made to relate the two-point code types to academic achievement. The highest GPA was obtained by 5 physics-zoology majors having the 27–72 code, and the lowest GPA was obtained by 7 sociology-history majors having the 89–98 code. Speculation as to why certain code types are attracted more to one major than another and why they perform well or poorly in one major as compared to another was presented. A study of personality types and the relation of these to academic and vocational behavior may be a fruitful approach rather than using personality traits alone as measured by particular scales.
