Hi Another good name in this domain is Harvey Skinner, who did a lot of work several decades ago and published a PsychBull (I think) article, as well as others. As I remember it, various profile similarity indices were considered with respect to several distinct components of similarity: elevation (means), variability (SDs), and pattern (correlation across scales). The techniques described (Modal Profile Analysis?) identified clusters of distinct patterns (e.g., different types of personality profiles in groups of alcoholics).
