Twenty of the referrals admitted (Admitter) to sexually abusing a child at the time of referral and twenty did not admit (Nonadmitter) to sexually abusing a child when referred. A control group of the remaining twenty subjects were referred for various offenses, none of which included sexual offenses against children.

The admitting perpetrators were found to have two scales elevated to 70T and higher. The Nonadmitter group elevated the Psychopathic Deviate and Psychasthenia scales, but not to a level of 70T.
