A new addition to the validity scales for the MMPI-2-RF includes an over reporting scale of somatic symptoms (F S) as well as revised versions of the validity scales of the MMPI-2 (VRIN-r, TRIN-r, F-r, F P-r, FBS-r, L-r, and K-r). The MMPI-2-RF does not include the S or F B scales, and the F-r scale now covers the entirety of the test. [48]
The Lees-Haley Fake Bad Scale (FBS) or MMPI Symptom Validity Scale is a set of 43 items in the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), selected by Paul R. Lees-Haley in 1991 to detect malingering for the forensic evaluation of personal injury claimants. [1]
The University of Minnesota Press published a new version of the MMPI-2, the MMPI-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF), in 2008. [4] The MMPI-2-RF builds on the Restructured Clinical (RC) Scales developed in 2003, [1] with an overriding goal of improved discriminant validity, or the ability of the test to reliably differentiate between clinical ...
The Personality Assessment Inventory has validity scales to measure inconsistency (the degree to which respondents answer similar questions in the same way), infrequency (the degree to which respondents rate extremely bizarre or unusual statements as true), positive impression (the degree to which respondents describe themselves in a positive ...
With graduate student Paul Meehl, Hathaway developed three validity scales embedded within the MMPI: the L, or lie, scale indicates when a client is "faking good"; the F, or infrequency, scale indicates when a client is "faking bad"; the K, defensiveness scale identifies individuals in denial about their behaviors and symptoms.
Most self-report inventories are brief and can be taken or administered within five to 15 minutes, although some, such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), can take several hours to fully complete. [2] They are popular because they can be inexpensive to give and to score, and their scores can often show good reliability. [3]
Each scale also assesses a range of severity for that scale; for example, the Suicidal Ideation scale has items that range from vague ideas about suicide to distinct plans for self-harm. To ensure that the PAI maximized discriminant validity, each of the scales should be relatively distinct from one another.
[2] The pool contains 3,329 items. [3] These items make up more than 250 inventories that measure a variety of personality factors, many of which correlate well to better-known systems such as the 16PF Questionnaire and the Big Five personality traits. IPIP provides journal citations to trace those inventories back to the publication as well as ...
