The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) instruments have a rich history of the inclusion of embedded strategies to identify invalidating response styles-such as non-responding, inconsistent responding, and noncredible underreporting or overreporting of symptoms-and to identify the impact of such response styles on substantive test score conclusions and extra-test considerations. This paper briefly reviews that history before focusing on the scales that detect overreported psychopathology, somatic complaints, and cognitive complaints on the most recent adult instruments, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) and MMPI-3. Specifically, we discuss the detection strategies used to develop MMPI-2-RF and MMPI-3 overreporting Validity Scales, evaluative contexts in which they are used, and studies of their validity. We also briefly discuss identified strengths and weaknesses and suggestions for the use of these scales in the assessment of overreporting.

Objective Previous research has found that among those with brain injury, individuals have a variety of different potential symptom sets, which will be seen on the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI). The number of different groups and what they measure have varied depending on the study. Method In active-duty personnel with a remote history of mild traumatic brain injury (n = 384) who were evaluated at a neuropsychology clinic, we used a retrospective database to examine if there are different groups of individuals who have distinct sets of symptoms as measured on the PAI. We examined the potential of distinct groups of respondents by conducting a latent class analysis of the clinical scales. Post hoc testing of group structures was conducted on concurrently administered cognitive testing, performance validity tests, and the PAI subscales. Results Findings indicate a pattern of broad symptom severity as the most probable reason for multiple groups of respondents, suggesting that there are no distinct symptom sets observed within this population. Pathology levels were the most elevated on internalizing and thought disorder scales across the various class solutions. Conclusion Findings indicate that among active-duty service members with remote brain injury, there are no distinct groups of respondents with different sets of symptom types as has been found in prior work with other neuropsychology samples. We conclude that the groups found are likely a function of general psychopathology present in the population/sample rather than bona fide differences.
