Which type of scales does the MMPI-A NOT include?

Validity Scales
Behavioral Scales
Clinical Scales
Adolescent Content Scales

The correct answer is: Behavioral Scales

The MMPI-A (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent) is specifically designed for assessing personality and psychopathology in adolescents. It includes several types of scales to measure various aspects of psychological health. The MMPI-A comprises validity scales, which help to determine the authenticity and consistency of responses; clinical scales, which are used to measure specific psychological conditions; and adolescent content scales, which address issues particular to the adolescent population. Behavioral scales, on the other hand, are not part of the MMPI-A. While the instrument assesses behavior indirectly through its clinical and other scales, it does not contain a distinct set of scales specifically labeled as behavioral scales. Instead, it focuses on measuring personality traits and psychological issues that are relevant to adolescents. This differentiation highlights the unique structure and focus of the MMPI-A when compared to other assessment tools.
