The University of Minnesota Press Test Division Advisory Board is composed of five or six members who are researchers and /or clinical practitioners credentialed in personality assessment and knowledgeable in the application and interpretation of personality instruments, including the MMPI tests. They serve a three-year term, with reappointment possible, and elect a chair from their membership.

The board's responsibilities are to:

• work with the Test Division in setting research/development priorities, recommending activities that will support improvements in the instruments that are designed to increase their utility and expand their scope;
• advise the Test Division regarding the preparation and dissemination of requests for research/development proposals;
• review proposals submitted to the Test Division annually for its research / development program on all tests the Press publishes (currently, the MMPI-3, MMPI-2-RF, MMPI-2, and the MMPI-A-RF and MMPI-A) as well as those in development (currently, the MPQ) and recommend the proposals to be funded;
• review all proposed publications of the Test Division, including new instruments and major revisions of existing ones, products derived from the tests, as well as monographs reporting research on them. This may involve reviewing evaluations by ad hoc consultants whose expertise may be needed given the varied nature of the publications.
