Correlations among raw scores, standard scores, expected scores, scale lengths and means for 30 Ss given the MMPI were obtained in a replication of the 1961 study by Edwards and Walker. The data do not support the statement of Edwards and Walker that MMPI scores are highly predictable from social desirability considerations
