The time savings afforded by this technique could be of particular benefit in settings where large numbers of psychological screenings are conducted, such as correctional facilities. In the current study, item and time savings, as well as the test–retest and extratest correlations associated with an audio augmented administration of all the scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI)-2 Computerized Adaptive (MMPI-2-CA) are reported. Participants include 366 men, ages 18 to 62 years (M = 33.04, SD = 10.40), undergoing intake into a large Midwestern state correctional facility. Results of the current study indicate considerable item and corresponding time savings for the MMPI-2-CA compared to conventional administration of the test, as well as comparability in terms of test–retest and correlations with external measures. Future directions of adaptive personality testing are discussed.1 aForbey, J D1 aBen-Porath, Y S1 aGartland, D  uhttp://iacat.org/content/validation-mmpi-2-computerized-adaptive-version-mmpi-2-ca-correctional-intake-facility02304nas a2200301   4500008004100000020002200041245011900063210006900182250001500251260000800266300001000274490000700284520125000291653001501541653001001556653006201566653001101628653001101639653000901650653003801659653005601697653004601753653002101799653003101820100001601851700002001867856011501887       2007                        eng d  a1040-3590 (Print)00aComputerized adaptive personality testing: A review and illustration with the MMPI-2 Computerized Adaptive Version0 aComputerized adaptive personality testing A review and illustrat  a2007/03/21  cMar  a14-240 v193 aComputerized adaptive testing in personality assessment can improve efficiency by significantly reducing the number of items administered to answer an assessment question. Two approaches have been explored for adaptive testing in computerized personality assessment: item response theory and the countdown method. In this article, the authors review the literature on each and report the results of an investigation designed to explore the utility, in terms of item and time savings, and validity, in terms of correlations with external criterion measures, of an expanded countdown method-based research version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), the MMPI-2 Computerized Adaptive Version (MMPI-2-CA). Participants were 433 undergraduate college students (170 men and 263 women). Results indicated considerable item savings and corresponding time savings for the adaptive testing modalities compared with a conventional computerized MMPI-2 administration. Furthermore, computerized adaptive administration yielded comparable results to computerized conventional administration of the MMPI-2 in terms of both test scores and their validity. Future directions for computerized adaptive personality testing are discussed.10aAdolescent10aAdult10aDiagnosis, Computer-Assisted/*statistics & numerical data10aFemale10aHumans10aMale10aMMPI/*statistics & numerical data10aPersonality Assessment/*statistics & numerical data10aPsychometrics/statistics & numerical data10aReference Values10aReproducibility of Results1 aForbey, J D1 aBen-Porath, Y S  uhttp://iacat.org/content/computerized-adaptive-personality-testing-review-and-illustration-mmpi-2-computerized00488nas a2200133   4500008004100000245008100041210006900122300001000191490000700201100001600208700001600224700002000240856009400260       2000                        eng d00aA real data simulation of computerized adaptive administration of the MMPI-A0 areal data simulation of computerized adaptive administration of   a83-960 v161 aForbey, J D1 aHandel, R W1 aBen-Porath, Y S  uhttp://iacat.org/content/real-data-simulation-computerized-adaptive-administration-mmpi-1
