MMPI-2 Normative Data for the F-K Index: Implications for Clinical, Neuropsychological, and Forensic Practice

The F-K index has long been used as a validity indicator with the MMPI to help identify subjects who may be over- or underreporting psychological problems. The revision of the MMPI necessitates the collection of new norms and development of cutoff scores for the F-K index due to changes in the test itself as well as changes in the way subjects respond to items since the time of the development of the original test. Continuation of the use of old cutoff scores and clinical lore may lead to erroneous conclusions and decisions in the clinical and forensic arenas in which the index is used. MMPI-2 norms for the F-K index are provided for the standardization sample, and additional data are presented for samples of psychiatric patients, head injured patients, individuals seeking disability benefits, job applicants for police and priest positions, and substance abusers. Implications for use of the tables for interpretation of F-K scores are discussed.

Relationships Among MMPI Codetype, Gender, and Setting and the MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale

Scores on the MacAndrew Alcoholism scale (MAC) were examined within specific Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) codetypes in three large samples: psychiatric inpatients and outpatients, medical outpatients referred for a psychiatric evaluation, and alcoholic inpatients. Mean MAC scores varied drastically as a function of MMPI codetype, gender, and the specific setting in which the MMPI was administered. These large variations in MAC scores suggest that the use of a single cutting score, typically a raw score of 24 or higher, may be inappropriate. Clinicians are cautioned about using the MAC to identify persons who abuse substances without considering the potential effects of MMPI codetype, gender, and the setting in which the MMPI is administered.
