The test is modernised for today’s clients and provides new norms and updated items and scales. The MMPI-3 continues to build on the history and strengths of the MMPI instruments to provide an empirically validated, psychometrically relevant standard for psychological assessment.  \nNew, nationally representative Englishlanguage normative sample  \nQUICK OVERVIEW  \nAge: 18 years and older  \nQualification level: C  \nReading level: year 5  \n(Flesch-Kincaid)  \nCompletion time: 25-50 minutes  \nReport options: Score, Clinical Interpretive, and Police Candidate Interpretive Reports  \nA lot has changed in 30 years. The MMPI-3 normative sample is updated for the first time since the mid-1980s and designed to match  \nU. S. census projections for race and ethnicity. * It includes 1,620 individuals (810 men and 810 women) ages 18 and older from diverse communities throughout the United States.  \nTable 1.  \nRace Distribution of Participants in the MMPI-3 Normative Sample Compared to 2020 Projected Census Data and MMPI®-2/MMPI-2-RF® Normative Sample  \n\n| Race/Ethnicity | MMPI-3 % | 2020 Projected % | MMPI-2/MMPI-2-RF % |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Asian | 5.1% | 6.0% | 0.6% |\n| Black | 12.4% | 12.2% | 11.6% |\n| Hispanic | 14.0% | 16.8% | 2.9% |\n| White | 60.3% | 62.5% | 81.8% |\n| Other | 3.7% | 0.9% | 3.1% |\n\nMixed Race 4. 5% 1.6% 0.0%  \n*MMPI-3 norms closely match projected 2020 U.

Items that no longer resonate with today’s clients have been removed or updated. Of the 335 items that comprise the MMPI-3, 72 are new and 24 have been updated to align with amore contemporary language. With a total of 52 scales, existing scales were optimised. New scales were added to assess:  \n• Combined Response Inconsistency  \n• Eating Concerns  \n• Compulsivity  \n• Impulsivity  \n• Self-Importance  \nSetting-specific comparison groups  \nCompare the results. Descriptive data from a broad range of settings make it possible to compare an individual’s test results with relevant groups in mental health, medical, forensic, and public safety settings. Don’t see a comparison group that fits your practice? You can create your own comparison group with the Comparison Group Generator!  \nShorter administration time for a comprehensive picture  \nSave time. With 335 items, the MMPI-3 takes only 25–35 minutes to administer using a computer and 35–50 minutes to administer by paper and pencil. Even with the shorter administration time, the MMPI-3 delivers comprehensive information from 52 scales to assist you in evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment planning.  \nTransparent interpretation grounded in research  \nAs always, it’s empirically validated. Detailed analyses reported in the MMPI-3 Technical Manual demonstrate that interpretation of the updated MMPI-3 scales can be guided by the extensive peerreviewed MMPI-2-RF literature. A listing of these publications can be found on the MMPI-3 web page.
