Abstract: It is already 3 years that MMPI was used in China. From the results obtained it was proved that its use in China had a certain reliability and validity, especially for psychiatric clinical use. But there are many deficiencies in the results. The main reason is that this Inventory was worked out by foreign scholars, many items and standards do not fit our country. This paper introduces our studies in analysing the items of the Inventory one by one and formulating our own standards according to the condition of our country.The analysis of results showed:1. Chinese subjects scored higher than the original MMPI results in all the clinical scales.2. The testing results changed with the advancement of age on the clinical scales.3. There are 76％ males and 71％ females who had the same scores in the 399 items of the Inventory as the results of Minnesota people. Other items had greater differences.4. In-depth analysis of the clinical data needs to be made for the determination of a standard for normal subjects.
