Résumé
Les échelles théoriques-factorielles du MMPI-2-RC ont été construites en divorce avec la stratégie catégorielle empirique appliquée au MMPI original et sa version mise à jour, le MMPI-2. Elles ont ensuite été intégrées comme un atout de modernité à un tout nouvel instrument basé aussi sur l’analyse factorielle, le MMPI-2-RF. Ce dernier a d’abord été présenté comme une version parallèle plutôt qu’un substitut du MMPI/MMPI-2. Pourtant, on a multiplié les ateliers et les séminaires sur le web, y vantant la supériorité du nouveau test. Ces subterfuges furent d’ailleurs abandonnés avec l’annonce d’un MMPI-3, à l’automne 2020. Le présent article, de veine à la fois historique et critique, fait le point sur le MMPI-2, commente l’apparition incongrue des « échelles restructurées » RC, décrit sommairement la forme restructurée MMPI-2-RF, et dénonce la mise au rancart redoutée, mais prédite du MMPI-2, au profit des MMPI-2-RF/MMPI-3, avatars hérétiques de MMPI récemment parus sur le marché.

Abstract
The conceptual-factorial scales of the MMPI-2-RC were constructed in divorce from the empirical categorizing strategy used for the original MMPI and its updated version, the MMPI-2. They were then integrated as a modern asset into a brand new instrument also based on factor analysis, the MMPI-2-RF. The latter was first introduced as a parallel version rather than a replacement for the MMPI/MMPI-2. However, workshops and webinars were multiplied, extolling the superiority of the new test. These subterfuges were then abandoned with the announcement of an MMPI-3, in the fall of 2020. This article, both historical and critical, takes stock of the MMPI-2, comments on the appearance incongruous of the "restructured scales" RC, summarily describes the restructured form MMPI-2-RF, and denounces the dreaded but predicted discarding of the MMPI-2 in favor of the MMPI-2-RF/MMPI-3, heretical avatars of MMPI that have recently surfaced in the market.
