“…However, Sellbom et al (2007) demonstrated that findings were relatively stronger when using the MMPI-2’s Restructured Clinical (RC) Scales, which were developed by Tellegen et al (2003) to address psychometric concerns with the Clinical Scales. The findings by Sellbom et al (2007) converge with prior research demonstrating that the RC Scales have improved psychometric features when compared with the Clinical Scales, particularly in terms of discriminant validity (Arbisi, Sellbom, & Ben-Porath, 2008; Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008; Forbey & Ben-Porath, 2007; Handel & Archer, 2008; McCord & Drerup, 2011; Scholte et al, 2012; Sellbom, Ben-Porath, Baum, Erez, & Gregory, 2008; Sellbom, Ben-Porath, & Graham, 2006; Sellbom, Graham, & Schenk, 2006; Wallace & Liljequist, 2005; Wygant et al, 2007).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive validity of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) in a sample of law enforcement officers. MMPI-2-RF scores were collected from preemployment psychological evaluations of 136 male police officers, and supervisor ratings of performance and problem behavior were subsequently obtained during the initial probationary period. The sample produced meaningfully lower and less variant substantive scale scores than the general population and the MMPI-2-RF Police Candidate comparison group, which significantly affected effect sizes for the zero-order correlations. After applying a correction for range restriction, MMPI-2-RF substantive scales demonstrated moderate to strong associations with criteria, particularly in the Emotional Dysfunction and Interpersonal Functioning domains. Relative risk ratio analyses showed that cutoffs of 45T and 50T maintained reasonable selection ratios because of the exceptionally low scores in this sample and were associated with significantly increased risk for problematic behavior. These results provide support for the predictive validity of the MMPI-2-RF substantive scales in this setting. Implications of these findings and limitations of these results are discussed.

“…Several studies have examined the utility of the MMPI-2-RF scales in predicting various therapy-disruptive behaviors. For instance, Scholte et al (2012a) studied 106 patients with personality disorders who were undergoing treatment and found that Antisocial Behavior (RC4), Disconstraint-Revised (DISC-r), and RC2, as well as low scores on RC7, were associated with inappropriate anger outbursts, impulsive acts, parasuicidal behavior, and contact violations. Scholte et al (2012b) followed up with 179 patients who had undergone treatment and found that RC2 and RC8 predicted lesser symptomatic improvement over time.…”

This article describes the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) and situates the instrument in contemporary psychopathology and personality literature. The historical evolution of the MMPI instruments is highlighted, including how failure to update the test for several decades resulted in increasing disinterest by basic researchers and how the restructuring efforts beginning in the 2000s promised to realign the instrument with basic research. In this regard, the construct validity associated with MMPI-2-RF scores in the context of contemporary dimensional models of psychopathology is considered. Research supporting the applied utility of the MMPI-2-RF scales in a variety of contexts—including mental health screenings, presurgical evaluations, forensic assessment, and public safety screening—is also reviewed. Critiques of the MMPI-2-RF are described and addressed. Finally, a series of recommendations for future updates of the MMPI-2-RF are described along with a path toward the MMPI-3.

“…Specifically, its anchoring Restructured Clinical (RC) scales have no item overlap and their internal consistency was optimized (among other psychometric improvements; Tellegen et al, 2003). Reflecting the success of this effort, several studies demonstrate that the RC Scale scores have better reliability and validity than the original Clinical Scales (Arbisi, Sellbom, & Ben-Porath, 2008; Forbey & Ben-Porath, 2007; Handel & Archer, 2008; McCord & Drerup, 2011; Scholte et al, 2012; Sellbom, Ben-Porath, & Stafford, 2007; Wygant et al, 2007).…”

Assessment of Sex Offenders With the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality /Inventory–2–Restructured Form

This study examined the association between scores on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) with static and dynamic risk assessment instruments, including the STATIC-99 and Level of Service Inventory-Revised (LSI-R). The sample included 304 male adults who were convicted of sexual offenses against children and were referred to a sex offender treatment program. On average, the sample had a Low-Moderate risk of re-offending according to the STATIC-99 and LSI-R. The results indicated that MMPI-2-RF scale scores in this setting are characterized by relatively high levels of under-reporting and externalizing psychopathology compared with the normative sample. We also found that scale scores in this sample produced reliability estimates that were similar to the normative sample. Finally, external correlations between the MMPI-2-RF scales and the risk assessment instruments indicated that the test was associated in expected ways with constructs measured by these instruments. Correlations were most robust among scales in the externalizing/behavioral dysfunction domain of the MMPI-2-RF. Overall, the results of the study support and guide use of the test in this population.
