The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is the most
widely used and thoroughly researched of all the objective
personality assessment instruments. However, current norms for
adolescents are based on cases drawn from studies conducted 25-45
years ago. This book presents the procedures used to develop
contemporary adolescent norms and is intended to serve as a manual
for their use. The study used 1315 randomly selected, non-paid
adolescent males and females ranging in age from 13 through 17
years, who were screened for physically or mentally handicapping
conditions that might have biased response patterns. Contemporary
norms using the traditional approach of scores without K
correction, as well as entirely new norms based on raw scores with
K correction, were developed. All of the normative tables use
easily normalized T scores instead of the linear transformations
that have been used in the past. In the adolescent study, changes
were studied that might have occurred in the way contemporary
normal adolescents in junior and senior high school responded to
the items of the MMPI. Because of the many significant changes that
were observed when MMPI responses from our contemporary normal
adult sample were compared with the original adult MMPI norms, it's
believed that it was necessary to investigate the possibility that
similar changes had occurred among adolescents ages 13-17 years
during the 25 years since Marks and Briggs established their normal
adolescent samples.
