How does the MMPI-2-RF Interpretive Report deal with invalid protocols?
For protocols that are invalid because of elevated VRIN-r or TRIN-r scores (T ≥ 80 on either scale), unscorable responses are listed, but critical responses are not. Scores on the inconsistency scales are interpreted. For protocols that are invalid and uninterpretable because of elevated F-r (T=120) or Fp-r (T ≥ 100) scores, or % scorable < 70 on any of the validity scales, unscorable responses and critical responses are listed along with an interpretation of any scores on the Validity Scales that remain interpretable. Critical responses are listed so that the interpreter can see the kind of statements the test taker was endorsing in generating an over-reporting protocol. Invalid reports are clearly marked with an invalidity message on each profile.
