To assess the status of changing MMPI practice a questionnaire was sent by mail to 368 licensed psychologists in Kansas with a 40% response rate (N = 147). The modal respondent had 14.2 yr. of experience. Virtually all reported that they currently used the MMPI: 37.0% reported using the MMPI, 80.1% MMPI-2, and 40.4% MMPI-A. A majority (67.6%) used computerized scoring with local scoring used by three out of four respondents. Computerized administration was used by 15.9% and computerized interpretation by 43.8%. Most used both High Point Codes (91%) and Elevation (84.7%) for interpretations. Two of three respondents thought that the High Point Codes and Elevations for the MMPI and MMPI-2 are related. The results of this survey of current practice suggest that many practitioners may be making false assumptions about the nature of the MMPI-2 and MMPI-A and their relationships with the original MMPI. If the MMPI is to retain its hard-fought presence as a diagnostic, forensic, and selection tool, we must pay greater attention to these issues.
为评估明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）的使用变化情况，我们通过邮件向堪萨斯州的368名持牌心理学家发送了一份问卷，回复率为40%（N = 147）。回复者的工作经验中位数为14.2年。几乎所有人都报告称他们目前在使用MMPI：37.0%报告使用MMPI，80.1%使用MMPI - 2，40.4%使用MMPI - A。大多数人（67.6%）使用计算机计分，四分之三的回复者使用本地计分。15.9%的人使用计算机施测，43.8%的人使用计算机解释。大多数人在解释时同时使用高点编码（91%）和量表分数（84.7%）。三分之二的回复者认为MMPI和MMPI - 2的高点编码和量表分数是相关的。本次当前使用情况调查的结果表明，许多从业者可能对MMPI - 2和MMPI - A的性质及其与原始MMPI的关系做出了错误假设。如果MMPI要作为一种诊断、法医和选拔工具保持其来之不易的地位，我们必须更加关注这些问题。
