MMPI-2 scores of Puerto Rican, Mexican, and US Latino college students: A research note

In this brief report, we present MMPI-2 basic validity and clinical scale d ata of Latino-descent persons from Puerto Rico (n = 290), Mexico (n = 1,920 ), and the United States (n = 28). All were administered one of three Spani sh translations of the MMPI-2. A review of the mean scores of those respect ive groups indicates similarities across all scales. Differences among thes e three groups, with the exception of the Mf scale (which is keyed to sex), were a cll within the one standard deviation band. More importantly, these findings are promising given thr fact that three different translations of the MMPI-2 were applied.
