The location of items of the Wiggins Content Scales on the MMPI-2.
The decision to exclude the Wiggins Content Scales from the MMPI-2 has hindered and, in many cases, may have prevented the ability to utilize the data collected over 25 years. There are questions with regard to the interpretation of some of the newer content scales of the MMPI-2, whereas most clinicians feel comfortably familiar, even if not entirely satisfied, with the Wiggins Content Scales of the MMPI. This report identifies the location and direction for scoring of items from the Wiggins Content Scales that appear on the MMPI-2. Preliminary data are presented and recommendations for utilizing these scales are offered.
