Abstract

Forensic psychological injury evaluations require extensive consideration of malingering and response bias. These evaluations are complicated in that they require assessment of both symptoms and symptom exaggeration across multiple domains of functioning (e.g., psychological, somatic, neurocognitive). Self-report measures are routinely utilized in psychological injury evaluations both for their economy of use and their broad coverage of symptoms. The following article reviews the use of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2; Butcher et al., 2001), MMPI-2-RF (Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2008/2011), and Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI; Morey, 2007). We will briefly review each instrument, focusing on their over-reporting validity indicators, and offer some general comments about their use in forensic psychological injury evaluations.
