MMPI-2 & MMPI-A Translations

Translations Procedures

The Test Division of the University of Minnesota Press actively promotes translation of the MMPI-2 MMPI-2-RF, and MMPI-A into languages other than English.  All translations require a license from the Press.

It is recommended that those interested in obtaining a license to develop and publish translations of the Press's tests first review the Guidelines for Developing Translations. 

If after reviewing the guidelines the individual or institution determines they have the qualifications to pursue a license, a Request for License to Translate/Publish the instrument must be completed.

Completed requests are reviewed by the Test Division's consultants and are approved, disapproved, or further information is requested. A translation must include all scales that comprise the test as published by the University of Minnesota Press as well as standard scores based on the test responses of indigenous normative and clinical samples, derived in accordance with the methods used to derive T scores for the English version of the test.

Once a contract for these services is in place, yearly progress reports are required of the developers until the translation and data collection are complete. It is optimal that a test publisher rather than an institution such as a university or a professional organization.

Questions regarding this process can be directed to the Permissions and Translations Coordinator at brown307@umn.edu
