| Short Description of Instrument |
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI- 2-RF) is a revised, 338-item version of the MMPI-2. Items are answered true/false. There are 50 scales: Restructured Clinical Scales, Validity Scales, Specific Problem Scales, Interest Scales, and Personality Psychopathology Five (PSY-5) Scales.
Proper administration requires that the test taker be able to respond meaningfully to the items. To provide meaningful results, the test taker must be able to see, read, and comprehend the items. Average reading difficulty is about the 6th-grade level. Audio administration via CD or computer software is available.

The MMPI-2 is the most extensively used and researched of the comprehensive personality assessment tools. The revised MMPI-2-RF provides a more time efficient approach to using the MMPI-2. It is psychometrically up-to-date and is linked to current models of psychopathology and personality.
