Abstract
Responsible forensic assessment is dependent on an appreciation for how validity scales differ from one another and function across different evaluation contexts. The primary goal of this review is to evaluate whether there is sufficient empirical support to provide expert testimony using MMPI-2 or MMPI-2-RF validity scales. Towards this goal, we briefly describe the development of MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF validity scales and review empirical studies that support interpretative strategies. We describe and illustrate with case examples how the respective sets of MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF validity scales utilize complementary strategies to detect over- and under-reporting of psychological, cognitive, and physical symptoms. Additionally, the review describes standards for expert psychological testimony and illustrates how MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF validity scales are particularly well suited to assess symptom validity and psychological status in secondary-gain settings.

Notes
To simplify presentation of material, when we reference both instruments simultaneously, we will call them the MMPI-2/RF.
Greene (2011) provides concise and informative summaries for additional MMPI validity scales that are not currently endorsed by the University of Minnesota Press.
One item is shared between FBS-r, RBS, and Fp-r.
It is beyond the scope of this review to elaborate on all continued efforts to criticize FBS by a minority group of researchers (e.g., see Butcher et al., 2008; Williams, Butcher, Gass, Cumella, & Kally, 2009). We refer readers interested in this issue to Ben-Porath, Greve, Bianchini, and Kaufman’s (2009b) thoughtful response to issues raised by Butcher et al. (2008) that describes how current FBS criticisms put forth are in part related to faulty premises and a very narrow literature review.
