摘要

Empirically evaluated instruments to assess personality characteristics and psychopathology in patients with borderline intellectual functioning (BIF) are lacking. Because of their high risk of psychopathology, additional psychological assessment of personality characteristics and psychopathology is highly relevant for treatment planning. In this study, we aimed to determine whether the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) is applicable for diagnostic assessment in patients with BIF and comorbid psychopathology. We examined scores on the validity scales of the MMPI-2-RF of patients with BIF and compared these scores to those of a matched (i.e., age and gender) community sample with average intellectual functioning without psychopathology. Scores on the MMPI-2-RF validity scales indicated that patients with BIF report consistently and demonstrated no indications of over-reporting or under-reporting. Compared to a matched community sample they demonstrated an equally consistent item response but report significantly more psychopathology. The results indicated that the MMPI-2-RF is feasible for the diagnostic assessment of personality characteristics and psychopathology in patients with BIF and comorbid psychopathology.
