This study examined the extent to which the validity scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) could identify subjects who were faking bad or faking good and differentiate between psychiatric patients and normal subjects who were faking bad. Subjects were 106 undergraduate college students and 50 psychiatric patients. Results indicate that the mean profiles and optimal cutoff scores resembled those previously reported for the original MMPI. Accurate identification of persons who were faking bad or faking good was achieved. It was possible to differentiate between the psychiatric patients and normal persons who were faking bad, but different cutoff scores were needed to differentiate between normals taking the test under standard instructions and those instructed to fake bad. Optimal cutoff scores were suggested.
本研究考察了明尼苏达多相人格问卷第二版（MMPI - 2）的效度量表在多大程度上能够识别伪装不良或伪装良好的受试者，并区分伪装不良的精神科患者和正常受试者。受试者包括106名本科大学生和50名精神科患者。结果表明，平均剖面图和最佳临界分数与先前报告的原始MMPI相似。能够准确识别伪装不良或伪装良好的人。可以区分伪装不良的精神科患者和正常受试者，但需要不同的临界分数来区分在标准指导下参加测试的正常人和被指示伪装不良的正常人。文中提出了最佳临界分数。
