FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

	The MMPI-2-RF provides an alternative to the MMPI-2 test, not a replacement.
	The MMPI-2 test will continue to be published and fully supported by the University of Minnesota Press and distributed exclusively by Pearson.
	A comprehensive technical manual will present empirical data.
	In addition to the standard administration, scoring, and interpretation manual, a technical manual will offer added support to the MMPI-2-RF users. The technical manual will document the development of the MMPI-2-RF scales. It will report empirical correlates of the scales in a range of settings, including mental health inpatient and outpatient clinics, substance abuse treatment centers, criminal court proceedings, personal injury and disability evaluations, and public safety employment evaluations. The correlates will be based on clinician ratings, chart data, and self-report measures. The manual will present descriptive data (means and standard deviations) for these samples as well as for individuals tested in the correctional and medical settings and the candidates for public safety positions. These data will allow users to compare a test-taker's scores with those of other individuals tested in similar settings.
	Training on the MMPI-2-RF is available.
	Instruction on the MMPI-2-RF is offered in the national workshop series sponsored by Kent State University and coordinated by the University of Minnesota Press. Multi-media training also will be provided. For more information, visit www.upress.umn.edu/tests/workshops.html, email testdiv@umn.edu, or call 612.627.4821.

	A special software program will enable users to easily convert a MMPI-2 scored record to a MMPI-2-RF record that is ready for reporting. A usage will be required to generate a report for the converted MMPI-2-RF record.
	Several scoring options will be provided.
	To meet your preferences, a choice of MMPI-2-RF scoring and reporting methods will be offered: hand-scoring, mail-in scoring, or desktop computer-based scoring and reporting with Q Local software.
	The MMPI-2-RF is priced comparably to the MMPI-2 test.
	Q Local customers will be able to exchange unused MMPI-2 Extended Score Report usages one-for-one at no charge. Complete introductory kits for all scoring options will be available in early 2008.
