The MMPI-2-RF features 51 new and revised empirically validated scales and takes only 35-50 minutes to administer. The MMPI-2-RF builds on the strengths of the MMPI-2. These findings are consistent with the growing literature on rates of apparently abnormal scores in the normal population due to multiple score interpretation. MMPI-2-RF: Overview, Interpretation Skills, and Application to Multiple Settings The MMPI-2-RF is composed of 338 items with the RC (Restructured Clinical) Scales at its core. Interpreting the MMPI-2-RF, Complete PDFCOMPLIMENTARY TRAINING SLIDES FROM THE AUTHOR The University of Minnesota Press is pleased to offer instructors free, downloadable training slides on 'Interpreting the MMPI-2-RF' by Yossef Ben-Porath, PhD. Interpretation of the Specific Problem Scales and Personality Psychopathology Five Scales-Revised also yielded higher than expected rates of significant scores, with as many as one in four normal adults possibly being miscategorized as having features of a personality disorder by the latter scales.
When the Restructured Clinical (RC) Scales are under consideration, 34% of normal adults have at least one elevated score. Nevertheless, interpreting the AUC as an effect size, the magnitude in all of. Results showed that when all 40 MMPI-2-RF scales are simultaneously considered, approximately 70% of normal adults are likely to have at least one scale elevation at or above 65 T, and as many as 20% will have five or more elevated scales. The MMPI-2-RF, however, only contains the restructured clinical scales.
Monte Carlo simulations were utilized to determine the proportion of the normal population expected to have scale elevations on the MMPI-2-RF when multiple scores are interpreted.
