The present study evaluated the criterion validity and practical utility of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3) scores in preemployment evaluations of police candidates (n = 377) and candidates for other public safety occupations (n = 276) in the Midwestern United States. Preemployment psychological reports were used to rate problems in the ten California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training screening dimensions (POST-10 dimensions). MMPI-3 T score means and standard deviations indicated that substantive scale scores were generally lower and less variable relative to the normative sample. MMPI-3 scores were meaningfully associated with problems in the POST-10 dimensions with similar patterns as past research but with generally larger effect sizes (likely due, in part, to criterion contamination). Relative risk ratio (RRR) findings supported the practical utility of interpretive guidelines described in the MMPI-3 Police Candidate Interpretive Report interpretive manual. Results are discussed in terms of the wider MMPI-2-RF literature in police officer preemployment evaluations. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).

公共安全候选人就业前评估中 MMPI-3 分数的标准有效性。

本研究评估了明尼苏达多相人格量表 3 (MMPI-3) 分数在美国中西部警察候选人 (n = 377) 和其他公共安全职业候选人 (n = 276) 的就业前评估中的标准有效性和实用性状态。就业前心理报告被用于对加州和平官员标准和培训委员会十个筛选维度（POST-10 维度）中的问题进行评级。MMPI-3 T 得分均值和标准差表明，实质性量表得分相对于规范样本通常较低且变化较小。MMPI-3 分数与 POST-10 维度中的问题有意义地相关联，其模式与过去的研究相似，但通常具有更大的影响大小（可能部分是由于标准污染）。相对风险比 (RRR) 结果支持 MMPI-3 警察候选人解释报告解释手册中描述的解释指南的实用性。结果根据更广泛的 MMPI-2-RF 文献在警官就业前评估中进行了讨论。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
