RESUMO
In this study, a discussion and procedure to eliminate K as a factor of correction in the MINI-MULT 82, is presented. This test was developed in Costa Rica and based on Kincannons Mini-Mult, a short form of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). However, the test has been independent from the MMPI, and it is not used as s predictor form. In consequence, the influence of factor K has been considered, either as a suppressor variable or as a contributor to improve the validity of the test. Two samples, one of non patients and other of psychiatric patients were compared using Students t-test. To do that, the test was scored first, without the K factor and finally, using that one. The results showed statistical differences between the samples (p < 0.001) and they were stronger when the K factor was not used. This findings support the elimination of K as a factor of correction in the MINI-MULT 82. Implications and guidelines about future research, are discussed at the end.
