Objective personality assessment of people in diverse cultures: European adaptations of the MMPI-2 Objective personality assessment of people in diverse cultures: European adaptations of the MMPI-2 Butcher, James; Derksen, Jan; Sloore, Hedwig; Sirigatti, Saulo 2003-07-01 00:00:00 This article examines the cross-national application of psychological tests and examines the generalizability of objective psychological assessment instruments. The most widely used and internationally adapted personality instrument, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2), is highlighted to illustrate the adaptation of psychological tests across the barriers of language and culture. The problems and limitations of using questionnaire methods were noted and effective strategies for translating, adapting, and standardizing questionnaires in languages and cultures different from their country of origin are reviewed. The history of several European adaptations of the original MMPI and MMPI-2 is surveyed to illustrate the extensive research base for the test in Europe. Applications of the MMPI-2 in clinical and non-clinical (e.g. Industrial) settings were noted. Current research is described and recommendations for future research are provided.

Abstract This article examines the cross-national application of psychological tests and examines the generalizability of objective psychological assessment instruments.
The most widely used and internationally adapted personality instrument, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2), is highlighted to illustrate the adaptation of psychological tests across the barriers of language and culture. The problems and limitations of using questionnaire methods were noted and effective strategies for translating, adapting, and standardizing questionnaires in languages and cultures different from their country of origin are reviewed. The history of several European adaptations of the original MMPI and MMPI-2 is surveyed to illustrate the extensive research base for the test in Europe. Applications of the MMPI-2 in clinical and non-clinical (e.g. Industrial) settings were noted. Current research is described and recommendations for future research are provided.
