This study aims to determine the characteristics of evidence of validity and sensitivity of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory III in identifying pathological traits in people needing psychological or psychiatric treatment using the Goldberg General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) as an instrument for convergent validity. We evaluated 703 male and female participants aged 18 to 85 years old, resident in various Brazilian cities. Participants were divided in two groups: G1 and G2. The results showed significant differences between means of G1 and G2. Through the GHQ administration, results showed a relationship between the scores of the two instruments. However, further studies are needed to establish normative standards for the Brazilian sample.

Palavras-chave : personality disorders; Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III; translation and adaptation; clinical syndromes; alcohol dependence.
