The MMPI®-3 is a contemporary personality assessment for mental health, medical, forensic, and public safety settings. This newest version builds on the history and strengths of the MMPI instruments to provide an empirically validated, psychometrically up-to-date standard for psychological assessment.

Key Features

Updated for the first time since the mid-1980s and designed to match US Census Bureau demographic projections for 2020, the MMPI-3 normative sample includes 1,620 individuals (810 men and 810 women) ages 18 and older from diverse communities throughout the United States.

The MMPI-3 includes 72 new and 24 updated items used to develop new scales (Eating Concerns, Compulsivity, Impulsivity, and Self-Importance) and to update existing MMPI-2-RF scales. 

View scales

Descriptive data from a broad range of settings make it possible to compare an individual’s test results with relevant groups in mental health, medical, forensic, and public safety settings.

View comparison groups

Detailed analyses reported in the Technical Manual indicate that interpretation of the updated MMPI-3 scales can be guided by over 450 peer-reviewed MMPI-2-RF publications. 

Report features

  • Summary page facilitates standard MMPI-3 interpretation 
  • Comparison Groups for mental health, medical, forensic, and public safety settings
  • A Comparison Group Generator allows clinicians to create setting-specific comparison groups
  • Item-level information (i.e., test taker responses and normative/comparison group frequencies) can be tailored to clinical inquiry
  • Annotations provide sources for all interpretive statements and up-to-date research references for empirical correlates
  • Optional gender-neutral language for interpretive reports
