Feasibility of MMPI-2-RF in patients with borderline intellectual functioning

BACKGROUND: There are few psychometrically sound diagnostic instruments available to assess personality characteristics and psychopathology in patients with borderline intellectual functioning (BIF). It is important to assess personality characteristics and psychopathology in this target group because of their high risk on psychopathology.

AIM: To determine whether the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) is feasible in patients with BIF (Verbal Comprehension Index = 70-85) and psychopathology.

METHOD: <span class="ms-rtethemeforecolor-2-01" lang=""> We examined scores on validity scales of the MMPI-2-RF of patients with BIF and compared</span> these scores to those of a matched group of individuals with average intellectual functioning without psychopathology.

RESULTS: Scores on the validity scales indicated that patients with BIF can report in a consistent and valid way about their complaints and personality characteristics. Compared to the comparison group they reported equally consistent and showed significantly more psychopathology.

CONCLUSION: The MMPI-2-RF is feasible in the assessment of personality characteristics and psychopathology in patients with BIF<span class="ms-rtethemeforecolor-2-01 CharOverride-10" lang="">.</span>.
