Final answer:

The MMPI's clinical scales with associated Harris-Lingoes sub-scales include scales 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9, which provide detailed insights into the broader clinical domains. The test also features validity scales such as the Lie Scale, to determine if respondents are underreporting psychological problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), one of the most widely used personality assessments, measures various psychological conditions and traits. MMPI includes a number of clinical scales which have associated Harris-Lingoes sub-scales. These sub-scales allow for a more nuanced interpretation of the primary scale scores. Specifically, scales 2 (Depression), 3 (Hysteria), 4 (Psychopathic Deviate), 6 (Paranoia), 8 (Schizophrenia), and 9 (Hypomania) have associated Harris-Lingoes sub-scales that aid in understanding the specific issues within these broader clinical domains. The MMPI is also noted for its validity scales, such as the Lie Scale, which help in assessing the respondent's approach to the test, particularly attempts at ‘faking good’.
