Psychological Testing and Assessment Psychometric Methodologies and Testing Personality Traits and Psychology

Abstract

Subjects were 75 African-American and 725 White men and 65 African-American and 743 White women who were part of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) restandardization sample (Butcher, Dahlstrom, Graham, Tellegen, & Kaemmer, 1989). Mean differences on the MMPI-2 validity and clinical scales between ethnic groups were small for both genders; however, any difference could be because of the variation in demographics. When subjects were matched by age, education, and income, fewer MMPI-2 scale means differed. In a follow-up study, the accuracy of the MMPI-2 clinical scales in predicting partner ratings was calculated. The predictions, which were based on a regression equation, were not significantly different between the two ethnic groups
