McCreary and Bendig found a reduction in the mean Taylor score on retest. They hypothesized that fatigue reduces the anxiety scores and, therefore, that the scale imbedded in the full length MMPI would yield lower scores than when given separately. To test this hypothesis three groups of naval cadets ( N=106, 134, 113) were given both the scale alone and the scale imbedded in the MMPI. The reduction in anxiety score on retest was confirmed but this reduction occurred even after an 18-hr. rest period. Further, there were no significant differences between forms. These results were interpreted as indicating that fatigue does not affect the anxiety scores in a consistent way, and that the two forms of the Taylor scale are comparable
