Peer reviewedBlanchard, Jay S. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory was analyzed by readability formulas which represent varying criterion of comprehension from 50 to 90 percent. If an examiner wishes to ensure 90 percent comprehension of the inventory items, nine years of successful schooling seem necessary. (Author/SJL)

Peer reviewedWard, L. Charles; Meyers, Robert – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1984
Compared three short forms of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (IRF, FAM, and MMPI-168) to the full scale in male veterans aged 60 and over (N=100). Results demonstrated no strong statistical advantage for any short form but indicated that the IRF, because of increased comprehensibility, might have wider applicability. (LLL)
