THE CONSISTENCY BETWEEN SCORES OF THE HARRIS-LINGOES SUBSCALES OF THEMMPI AND MMPI-2

This study investigates the consistency between scores of the Harris-L ingoes subscales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (M MPI) and the MMPI-2. College students (200 men and 200 women) were ran domly assigned to either the original to original condition, where the y took the MMPI twice, or the original to revised condition, where the y took the MMPI and MMPI-2. Results indicate relative consistency in t he item and normative changes between the Harris-Lingoes subscales of the MMPI and MMPI-2. These results suggest that the recommendation of a clinical significance score of T > 65 for the MMPI-2 scales should n ot be applied to the Harris-Lingoes subscales.
