Examination of the relationship between Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, racial identification, acculturation, culture, language and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI/MMPI-2) has revealed controversial results. Because the MMPI/MMPI-2 is the most widely used personality assessment, it is important to understand how ethnic and socio-cultural variables factor into a psychological evaluation. This paper provides an overview of the literature on the appropriateness of using the MMPI/MMPI-2 with the Hispanic/Latino population as well as appropriate uses of the test with this population.
