What is the age range for individuals for whom the MMPI-2 is designed?

Children aged 6-15
Adults aged 16 and older
Teenagers aged 13-19
Seniors aged 65 and older

The correct answer is: Adults aged 16 and older

The MMPI-2, or Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2, is specifically designed for adults aged 16 and older. This tool assesses various personality traits and psychopathology, making it suitable for a broad range of adult populations, including those seeking psychological evaluations for various reasons, such as mental health treatment, legal cases, or employment assessment. This age range is pertinent because the MMPI-2 includes items and scales that reflect adult experiences and psychological constructs, which might not be applicable or interpretable for younger individuals. The test incorporates complex language and concepts that are better understood by individuals who have reached a significant level of cognitive and emotional development, typically around the age of 16. While the other options refer to different demographic groups, they do not align with the intended use of the MMPI-2. For instance, children in the age range of 6-15 may require different assessment tools that cater specifically to developmental concerns and cognitive capabilities at that stage. Similarly, teenagers aged 13-19 are not within the specified adult range required for the MMPI-2, and seniors aged 65 and older, while they can take the test, fall within the broader adult age category rather than a specific age group tailored for the MMPI
