The MMPI- 2-RF overreporting validity scales proved to be modestly better predictors of suspected psychopathology malingering-compared with the MMPI- 2 overreporting scales-in dimensional predictive models and categorical classification accuracy analyses.

Results provide support for the capacity of both the MMPI- 2 and the MMPI- 2-RF overreporting validity scales to predict suspected malingering of psychopathology. The current study expands on past research examining the comparative capacity of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory- 2 ( MMPI- 2 Butcher et al., 2001) and MMPI- 2 Restructured Form ( MMPI- 2-RF Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008/2011) overreporting validity scales to detect suspected malingering, as assessed by the Miller Forensic Assessment of Symptoms Test (M-FAST Miller, 2001), in a sample of public insurance disability claimants (N = 742) who were considered to have potential incentives to malinger.
