Course Description

We present findings from a study examining associations between substantive scale scores on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3; Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2020) and field performance measures in a sample of police candidates who were rated qualified and then hired. In light of a new normative sample and police candidate comparison group for the MMPI-3, and the findings of this study, we discuss new recommended cut-off scores for making predictive inferences from MMPI-3 scale scores, and identify behavioral correlates associated with scores on the MMPI-3's new substantive scales. Finally, we discuss how these findings and data are incorporated in the MMPI-3 Police Candidate Interpretive Report (Corey & Ben-Porath, 2020).
