A psychologist is asked to assess a recent immigrant who is fluent in Spanish but has limited English proficiency. To adhere to ethical best practices for MMPI administration, which course of action is most appropriate?
-
A
Administer the English version of the MMPI-3 and use a professional interpreter to translate the items during the session.
-
B
Use the official U.S. Spanish translation of the MMPI-3, which includes its own normative data collected from U.S. Spanish speakers.
-
C
Advise against using the MMPI, as any translation compromises the psychometric integrity of the original instrument.
-
D
Administer the English version and statistically adjust the final scores to account for potential language barriers.
