I guess I have always wondered if the MMPI and other personality inventory tests can be/have been defended in Court as valid instruments? Anybody have any information on this?

Perhaps we should all start up an "anti-MMPI.org website?

maybe, I dunno LOL. I do remember when that bunch of Academe' snoots from FSU were trying to develop something called the LEPI or law enforcement personality inventory. It was a tweaking, supposedly of the MMPI.  Never got off the ground really because they couldn't validate it.  I have seen some pretty good cops who showed up as really weird upon taking that thing.  Most are still employed, except of course for that one guy who the voices told to move to Roswell, NM

For one, the MMPI, alone, never sunk anyone's career. Secondly, I trust a 600-question inventory assessment a lot more than I trust a couple of hours strapped to a machine that monitors my heart rate, etc., and purports to be a "lie detector."

Are you sure that nobody ever lost out on a law enforcement job because they had the misfortune to "fail" the MMPI?

Comparing the MMPI to a polygraph is a bit absurd, and the proposition's a red herring not worth pursuing. What I will tell you is that the MMPI is a personality inventory that is just one element, of many, occasionally (and very rarely) used by certain agencies (intelligence agencies, not the FBI nor any other law enforcement agency to my knowledge). You can't do well, you can't do poorly on the MMPI. You're either a strong match, a not so strong match, or a terrible match for the profile they're looking for. A "terrible match" doesn't mean your application is sunk; similarly, a "strong match" doesn't mean you're on the road to a job offer. Moreover, even if you're not a good match, you simply go home realizing hey, perhaps I wasn't qualified (akin to not succeeding in a job interview).

Compare a polygraph: you either pass or you fail. Failure is the end of the line, bar none. Passing means you go on. After "failing" a polygraph, you are deemed a liar, perhaps disloyal, deviant, a druggie, or worse. 

Comparing the two is pretty ridiculous.

Rassado,

I respectfully disagree with some of the points you raised.

Quote:

The MMPI is actually used very widely by law enforcement, at least on the local level. And yes, it is used (in whole or in part) to disqualify candidates.

The biggest difference here is that psycological DQs--like medical DQs--are frequently appealed with success. The same cannot be said for results of a polygraph seance.

Incorrect. The 'graph jockey can also deem the results of the "test" inconclusive. Regrettably, this is essentially the same as "failing," as many agencies--especially federal ones--will not hire you without a "passing" result.

Rosado:

This "shrink test" is used all the time to "flunk" police applicants.  Many, many times it is also the ONLY tool used to eliminate applicants in a promotion process.

Hilarious! Grin "Cheating" on an MMPI is rich. Haven't any of you heard of the "lie scale" on the MMPI? It's highly unlikely to consistantly pose as a different person throughout the entire test. Last I checked, they don't let you take the test home----and more importantly, they don't much care for an elevated lie scale on a test which asks questions like fear of water and love of your mama. This thread reminds me of why applicants for law enforcement need to be thoroughly interrogated and thoroughly researched. Cheating on a personality test??????    wow.
