Different Personality Styles in Spanish and Argentine adults samples

Abstract

Differences in Personality Styles based in data gathered administering MIPS (Millon Inventory of Personality Styles) are analyzed. The inventory was administered to two adults samples (Argentine, Spain). Based in Means and Standard Deviations scores for each of the 24 scales that integrate the technique Student´t scores were obtained. We found significative statistical differences in sixteen of those scales for the total samples analyzed. Furthermore, the paper analyzes differences according to sex between the two populations. A discriminant analysis is carried out to study which scales of the questionnaire allow us to discriminate better between subjects. The conclusions include some considerations about the transnational data comparisons and their clinical application.
