Is the MMPI Unbeatable? | Review of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory

This video answers the questions: Is the MMPI unbeatable? What is the MMPI? What is it used for? Can I critique the MMPI? What is the MMPI fake bad scale?

MMPI stands for Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. The two versions that are relatively popular are the MMPI 2 and the MMPI 2 RF. The MMPI is used to identify mental disorders, the severity of those disorders, and personality.

One of the most controversial features of the MMPI is the validity scales:

CNS - Cannot Say
VRIN-r -Variable Response Inconsistency
TRIN-r -True Response Inconsistency
F-r - Infrequent Responses
Fp-r - Infrequent Psychopathology Responses
Fs - Infrequent Somatic Responses
FBS-r - Symptom Validity (Fake Bad Scale)
RBS - Response Bias
L-r - Uncommon Virtues
K-r - Adjustment Validity
