The validity scales of the MMPI, MMPI-2, and MMPI-2-RF provide a gauge of test-taker response sets and patterns to help identify potential issues with the validity of test results. They do not presume to measure the test's own validity, nor do they measure reliability or utility. Therefore, option A and B are not correct. Option D is incorrect as it includes the self-serving criticism which is not relevant to the purpose of the validity scales.
