==== MMPI-2 in Hmong ====
The MMPI-2 was translated into the Hmong language by Deinard, Butcher, Thao, Vang and Hang. The items for the Hmong-language MMPI-2 were obtained by translation and back-translation from the English version. After linguistic evaluation to ensure that the Hmong-language MMPI-2 was equivalent to the English MMPI-2, studies to assess whether the scales meant and measured the same concepts across the different languages. It was found that the findings from both the Hmong-language and English MMPI-2 were equivalent, indicating that the results obtained for a person tested with either version were very similar.<ref>{{cite book|author1=Deinard|author2=Butcher|author3=Thao|author4=Vang|author5=Hang|editor1-last=Butcher|editor1-first=James|title=International Adaptations of the MMPI – 2: Research and Clinical Applications|date=1996|publisher=University of Minnesota Press|pages=194–205|chapter=Development of a Hmong translation of the MMPI-2.}}</ref>
