==== MMPI-2 in Korean ====
The Korean MMPI-2 was initially translated by Kyunghee Han through a process of multiple rounds of translation (English to Korean) and back-translation (Korean to English), and it was tested in a sample of 726 Korean college students.<ref>{{cite book|title=The use of the M MPI-2 in Korea: Inventory adaptation, equivalence evaluation, and initial validation|date=1993|publisher=University Microfilms International|last1=Han|first1=K}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=International Adaptations of the MMPI – 2: Research and Clinical Applications|date=1996|publisher=University of Minnesota Press|pages=88–136|chapter=The Korean MMPI-2.|author1=Han|editor1-last=Butcher|editor1-first=JAmes}}</ref> In general, the [[Test-retest reliability|test-retest]] reliabilities in the Korean sample were comparable to those in the American sample. For both culture samples, the median test-retest reliabilities were found to be higher for females than for males: 0.75 for Korean males and 0.78 for American males, whereas it was 0.85 for Korean females and 0.81 for American females. After retranslating and revising the items with minor translation accuracy problems, the final version of the Korean MMPI-2 was published in 2005.<ref>Kim, J., Han, K., Lim, J., Lee, J., Min, B., & Moon, K. (2005). ''Korean MMPI-2 user manual''. Seoul, Korea: Maumsarang.</ref> The published Korean MMPI-2 was standardized using a Korean adult normative sample, whose demographics were similar to the 2000 Korean Census data. Compared to the U. S. norm, scale means of Korean norm were significantly elevated; however, the [[Reliability (statistics)|reliabilities]] and [[Validity (statistics)|validity]] of the Korean MMPI-2 were still found to be comparable with the English MMPI-2. The Korean MMPI-2 was further validated by using a Korean psychiatric sample from inpatient and outpatient facilities of Samsung National Hospital in [[Seoul]]. The [[internal consistency]] of the MMPI-2 scales for the psychiatric sample was comparable to the results obtained from the normative samples.  Robust validity of the Korean MMPI-2 scales was evidenced by correlations with the [[Symptom Checklist 90|SCL-90-R]] scales, behavioral correlates, and therapist ratings.<ref>Han, K., Moon, K., Lee, J., & Kim, J.
