==== MMPI-2 in Chinese ====
The Chinese MMPI-2 was developed by [[Fanny M. Cheung]], Weizhen Song, and Jianxin Zhang for Hong Kong and adapted for use in the mainland.<ref name=":2" /> The Chinese MMPI was used as a base instrument from which some items, that were the same in the MMPI-2, were retained. New items on the Chinese MMPI-2 underwent translation from English to Chinese and then back translation from Chinese to English to establish uniformity of the items and their content. The psychometrics are robust with the Chinese MMPI-2 having high reliability (a measure of whether the results of the scale are consistent). Reliability coefficients were found to be over 0.8 for the test in Hong Kong and were between 0.58 and 0.91 across scales for the mainland. In addition, the correlation of the Chinese MMPI-2 and the English MMPI-2 was found to average 0.64 for the clinical scales and 0.68 for the content scales indicating that the Chinese MMPI-2 is an effective tool of personality assessment.<ref name=":2">{{cite book|author1=Cheung|author2=Song|author3=Zhang|editor1-last=Butcher|editor1-first=J|title=International Adaptations of the MMPI – 2: Research and Clinical Applications|date=1996|publisher=University of Minnesota Press|pages=137–161|chapter=The Chinese MMPI – 2: Research and Applications in Hong Kong and the People's Republic of China}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Cheung|first1=F|last2=Leong|first2=F|last3=Ben-Porath|first3=Y|title=Psychological Assessment in Asia: Introduction to the Special Section.|journal=Psychological Assessment|date=2003|volume=15|issue=3|pages=243–247|doi=10.1037/1040-3590.15.3.243|pmid=14593824}}</ref>
