Previous researchers have independently shown that pulmonary function measures, intelligence test scores, and a recently developed MMPI-derived scale can predict post-hospital employment among rehabilitation patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This study compared the effectiveness of the three variables in predicting employment among a group of vocational rehabilitation candidates with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Only the MMPI-derived scale (COPD-VR) identified the non-working patients significantly above base rate. While this finding does not necessarily mean that personality, or attitudinal, factors are more important than physiological or intellectual variables in vocational rehabilitation success among such patients, it gives further support to the validity of the COPD-VR scale
