This article describes the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) and situates the instrument in contemporary psychopathology and personality literature. The historical evolution of the MMPI instruments is highlighted, including how failure to update the test for several decades resulted in increasing disinterest by basic researchers and how the restructuring efforts beginning in the 2000s promised to realign the instrument with basic research. In this regard, the construct validity associated with MMPI-2-RF scores in the context of contemporary dimensional models of psychopathology is considered. Research supporting the applied utility of the MMPI-2-RF scales in a variety of contexts-including mental health screenings, presurgical evaluations, forensic assessment, and public safety screening-is also reviewed. Critiques of the MMPI-2-RF are described and addressed. Finally, a series of recommendations for future updates of the MMPI-2-RF are described along with a path toward the MMPI-3.

本文介绍了明尼苏达州多相性人格量表2-重组表（MMPI-2-RF），并将该工具置于当代心理病理学和人格文学中。着重介绍了MMPI仪器的历史演变，包括数十年来未能更新测试如何导致基础研究人员越来越不感兴趣，以及从2000年代开始的重组工作如何承诺将仪器与基础研究相结合。在这方面，考虑了在当代心理病理学维度模型的背景下与MMPI-2-RF评分相关的构建效度。还审查了支持MMPI-2-RF量表在各种情况下的应用效用的研究，包括心理健康筛查，术前评估，法医评估和公共安全筛查。描述和解决了MMPI-2-RF的批注。最后，描述了有关MMPI-2-RF未来更新的一系列建议以及通向MMPI-3的途径。
