Interpretive reliability of two common MMPI-2 profiles

Interpretive reliability of two common MMPI-2 profiles

Users of multi-scale tests like the MMPI-2 tend not to interpret scales one at a time in a way that would correspond to standard scale-level reliability information. Instead, clinicians integrate inferences from a multitude of scales simultaneously, producing a descriptive narrative that is thought to characterize the examinee. This study was an attempt to measure the reliability of such integr...

A new empirical automated MMPI interpretive program: 2-8 and 8-2 code types.

MMPI/MMPI-2: comparisons of amnesic patients.

The amnesic population provides a unique opportunity to examine the reliability of clinical tests because amnesics do not consciously recollect initial testing sessions. In this study, amnesic subjects were studied to examine the reliability between the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the MMPI-2. Findings indicated that there were no statistical differences between versio...

Classification of MMPI Profiles using Decision Trees

Our research concerns psychometric data coming from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) test. MMPI is one of the most frequently used personality tests in clinical mental health as well as psychopathology (mental and behavioral disorders). We are developing the Copernicus system, a tool for the analysis and classification of MMPI profiles of patients with mental disorders. In...
