Which assessment closely parallels the MMPI-2?

Beck Depression Inventory
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory
California Psychological Inventory
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent

The correct answer is: Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent (MMPI-A) closely parallels the MMPI-2, as it is essentially a version of the MMPI-2 adapted for younger individuals, typically ages 14 to 18. The MMPI-2 is a well-established psychological assessment tool designed to measure personality structure and psychopathology in adults, while the MMPI-A serves a similar purpose for adolescents, utilizing many of the same scales and constructs. This parallels the MMPI-2 by maintaining its reliability and validity in assessing mental health and behavioral issues among the younger demographic. The other options represent assessment tools that focus on specific areas or constructs. The Beck Depression Inventory is primarily focused solely on measuring the severity of depression. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory is designed to assess different types of anxiety—state anxiety, which is temporary, and trait anxiety, which is more stable over time. The California Psychological Inventory emphasizes interpersonal relations and social interactions rather than a comprehensive psychological profile like the MMPI-2. Thus, while these assessments are valuable in their own right, they do not parallel the MMPI-2 in the same way that the MMPI-A does.
