Abstract
SUMMARY The MMPI-2 is one of the most widely used instruments in forensic neuropsychology. Unlike most tests, it has the advantage of containing validity scales that assist the examiner in determining the level of cooperation of the examinee. Scales that provide information for evaluating the validity of an MMPI-2 profile include VRIN, TRIN, L, F, K, F -K, FB, F(p), FBS (Fake Bad Scale), Total Obvious -Subtle, Ds, Dsr, and Ego Strength. This article discusses research available when considering the applicability of these procedures in the context of challenges to their scientific reliability and validity in legal proceedings, according to the standards set forth in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
