What age group is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent (MMPI-A) primarily designed to assess?

Adults ages 18-65
Children ages 5-10
Adolescents ages 14-18
Young adults ages 19-24

The correct answer is: Adolescents ages 14-18

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent (MMPI-A) is specifically constructed to assess the psychological functioning and personality traits of adolescents, particularly those aged 14 to 18. This age range is crucial because it captures a developmental stage where individuals are undergoing significant emotional, social, and cognitive changes. The MMPI-A offers insight into the psychological issues that may arise during adolescence, such as identity formation, peer relationships, and the onset of mental health disorders. Utilizing this assessment tool with adolescents allows mental health professionals to develop tailored interventions and understand the unique challenges faced by this age group. The MMPI-A is not appropriate for younger children or older adults, as their psychological profiles and developmental issues may differ significantly. Therefore, the focus on the adolescent demographic is essential for accurate interpretation and effective clinical strategies.
