Recently it has been shown that oral administration of the MMPI‐168(L), with simplified explanations of the items provided when needed, can reveal information related to personality and psychopathology in many individuals with mental retardation. The results of repeated administrations of the inventory to 7 clients residing in an institutional setting over a period exceeding 3 years in some cases are presented here. It is argued that results obtained by repeated administration the MMPI‐168(L) can reveal information concerning changes in mental health status for many individuals with mental retardation. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
