Abstract
Culturally competent assessment practice is now mandated by the 1992 APA Ethical Code. Culturally competent assessment practice is described as a contextfor discussing the advantages and disadvantages of a variety of "corrections" currently available for the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory with Hispanic populations. These "corrections" include moderator variables, special scales, special norms, translations, and aids to interpretation. Interim usage of these "corrections" and simultaneous development of new tests and diagnostic standards that fully acknowledge cultural diversity are recommendedfor compliance with the ethical code.
