title: Desirability of old and new MMPI-2 items.
abstract: Desirability ratings and endorsements are significantly lower for new MMPI-2 items than for MMPI-2 items that initially appeared on the MMPI. Interpretation of the findings is uncertain because different samples rated the desirability of the old and new items. Ratings of all items by a single sample are required.
