![]() ![]() The MMPI-A-RF normative sample is drawn from the MMPI-A normative sample and consists of 1,610 adolescents (805 boys 805 girls) ages 14 to 18 from several regions of the U.S., a balanced sample with respect to region, rural-urban residence, and ethnicity. No new normative data were collected for the MMPI-A-RF. Norms and ScalesĪre the MMPI-A-RF norms different from the MMPI-A norms? There is no research at this time to support use of the MMPI-A-RF with adolescents younger than 12. Why can’t I get an MMPI-A-RF report for an 11-year-old? In the reverse case of the MMPI-A-RF report indicating that the protocol is valid, while the MMPI-A report declares it invalid, the MMPI-A-RF results can be interpreted with caution. Because all of the MMPI-A-RF items are embedded in the MMPI-A, if the MMPI-A-RF report indicates that the protocol is invalid, then the MMPI-A results are likely invalid as well and should not be interpreted. The former are less redundant (e.g., there is no item overlap on the VRIN-r and TRIN-r scales) and more up-to-date (e.g., unlike F, F-r includes only items rarely endorsed by adolescents in the MMPI-A normative sample and inpatient, outpatient, correctional, and school settings). The MMPI-A-RF Validity Scales are similar but not identical to the MMPI-A Validity Scales. Which version of the test and report should I rely upon? The MMPI-A Interpretive Report indicates that a protocol is valid and interpretable, but the MMPI-A-RF Interpretive Report indicates that the same protocol is invalid. The automated interpretation in these cases will be limited to addressing concerns about the validity of the protocol. ![]() In such cases, the profiles will be plotted but will be marked by a statement indicating that the protocol is invalid. The full text of the Interpretive Report will not be generated if scores on the Validity Scales raise significant concerns about the interpretability of the results. How does the MMPI-A-RF Interpretive Report deal with invalid protocols? ![]() Interpretation of the Score Report, including invalidity determination, is the responsibility of the test user. The Score Report provides profiles and scores for the MMPI-A-RF scales, but does not provide an interpretation. My MMPI-A-RF Score Report is invalid, but it doesn't say that on the report. If the client is younger than 12 or older than 18, no report will be generated. Age is calculated from the Test Date and Birth Date. The software will not generate any report without this information. Test Date, Birth Date, ID, and Gender must be provided. What demographic information is required to generate an MMPI-A-RF software-based report? Administration, Scoring, and Interpretation. ![]() Invalid Report and Demographic Defaults. ![]()
