“…In another study with the PAI, a group of 95 patients with TBI showed elevations in Somatic Complaints, Depression and Borderline Features with prominent clusters for social isolation/confused thinking and for depression/withdrawal [57]. Using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), TBI patients had elevations on scales for Hypochondriasis, Depression and Hysteria with the presence of anxiety suggesting concomitant PTSD [58,59]. Using the NEO-PI for the Five Factor Model, there were only small decreases in Extraversion and Openness when comparing subjects within the first 3 months of TBI and again 12 months post-TBI [60,61].…”

“…However, individuals with TBI were not included in this sample. Research with TBI patient groups has consistently shown elevated Hypochondriasis, Depression, Psychasthenia, Schizophrenia, and Hysteria scales (Cattelani et al 1996;Foley et al 2006;Gass 2000;Rohling 2002). These findings are concerning.…”

Despite the fact that patients with mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are commonly encountered in clinical practice, there are numerous myths surrounding their diagnosis, assessment, and outcome. The purpose of this paper is to review some of the more common myths related to mild TBI including: (a) there is no Miserable Minority; (b) meta-analytic studies have proven that patients with mild TBI do not experience persistent deficits; (c) personality tests can reliably capture psychological problems in patients with a mild TBI; (d) findings from the sports concussion literature can be directly applied to clinical patients; and (e) in the absence of loss of consciousness, the diagnosis of a mild TBI is uncertain.

“…The dearth of control groups was unexpected, because in TBI studies, psychopathology is so often assessed with the MMPI-2 (Arbisi & Ben-Porath, 1999). Of the studies with control groups, two used neurologic controls (Foley, Garcia, Harris, Golden, & Todd, 2006;Golden & Golden, 2003a) and one did not specify the control group's characteristics (Solbakk et al, 2005); this left too few appropriate control groups for meta-analytic comparison.…”

Psychologists often use the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and, more recently, its successor, the MMPI-2, to assess personality and psychological disturbances following traumatic brain injury (TBI). The present meta-analysis examined the pattern of mean Hedges' d values on MMPI-2 validity (L, F, K) and clinical (1-4, 6-0) scales in individuals with TBI. Database keyword searches yielded ten studies providing post-TBI MMPI-2 profiles. Studies were required to include a pure TBI sample, individuals who were ≥18 at injury, and means and standard deviations for most MMPI-2 clinical scales. Analyses showed large effects for MMPI-2 scales F, 1, 2, 3, 7, and 8. Using Q statistics, moderating effects were found for TBI severity on scale 7 and for compensation-seeking/litigation status on scales 1, 2, 3, and 7. No significant effects were found for time post-injury. The available information was insufficient to examine the effect of lesion location, pre-injury personality and psychopathology, or time post-injury for samples with differing injury severities on MMPI-2 profiles. Results suggest that individuals with TBI report significant levels of psychopathology that may be moderated by TBI severity and compensation-seeking/litigation status. Discussion includes a literature critique given the meta-analytic findings and implications for future study of personality following TBI.
