- Abstract
The article presents information on the evaluation of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) Repeated Item Short Form (RISF). This form was compared with a Factor Analytically derived Short Form (FASF). Results of this comparison indicated that in a psychiatric population, RISF was accurate in most cases of predicting and matching patterns of full length CPI scores. The development of the RISF was done with a psychiatric population. This was because of the fact that the FASF was developed with a population of relatively normal college students. This article aims to cross-validate the RISF with nonpsychotic populations and makes further comparisons with the only other CPI short form that demonstrated to have clinical utility. The RISF was found to perform favorably when compared with the FASF on all described comparisons. The result of the study indicate that for any CPI short form to be useful clinically to a test interpreter it should predict accurately full version scores without having to administer the full length CPI.
