Although the original MMPI as well as the MMPI-2/MMPI-A have not been successful in leading directly to diagnosis, they can often contribute considerable information relevant to diagnostic formulations. In the section on code types, possible DSM-IV diagnoses consistent with each code type have been included. Clinicians should consider these, along with additional available information, to help make an accurate diagnosis. In some contexts and for some types of referral questions, this will be relevant; but for other con- texts and referral questions, formal diagnosis will be neither required nor appropriate (e.g., employment screening). A further review of the considerations and guidelines described in Step 6 might be useful in extracting relevant information for diagnosis.
