Criterion validity of MMPI-3 scores in preemployment evaluations of public safety candidates.The present study evaluated the criterion validity and practical utility of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3) scores in preemployment evaluations of police candidates (n = 377) and candidates for other public safety occupations (n = 276) in the Midwestern United States.  MMPI-3 T score means and standard deviations indicated that substantive scale scores were generally lower and less variable relative to the normative sample.  MMPI-3 scores were meaningfully associated with problems in the POST-10 dimensions with similar patterns as past research but with generally larger effect sizes (likely due, in part, to criterion contamination).  Relative risk ratio (RRR) findings supported the practical utility of interpretive guidelines described in the MMPI-3 Police Candidate Interpretive Report interpretive manual.
