How did you answer differently the second time?" She also said that with both tests the "validity scales" appear to make it a valid test.īut to answer her question as to "how did I answer differently?" The only thing I could think of is the manner in which I took the test.
My friend, a clinical psychologist, who has seen both test results and she said "Hmm. It came different the 2nd time for scale 6. So I figured that I would take it under what I would think to be normal circumstances, how most anyone else would take it if they had a real life need to, and see how it comes out. I looked up a highly elevated scale 6 and said "well that does not seem to fit me" and the first time I took the test the circumstances were quite abnormal. None of the other scales were elevated nor were there major differences between the two tests on other scales. The big difference between the two times I took it is that Scale 6 came out as a T-79 the first time and a T-61 the second time. It's the actual test and produces the proper scoring, according to my friend, who happens to be a clinical psychologist herself, who is trained in MMPI and uses it a lot with her patients. (can include the link if anyone wants) 567 true/false questions and clicking "score" produces all kinds of plotted charts and a long table with score numbers,etc. So out of personal curiosity I took it upon myself to take the MMPI-2 test I found online. Possibly because it could teach me something more about myself and help me grow as a person, etc. I just was curious about how it would come out If I took it. But both appear to be valid.?įirst let me say that I am not in any kind of therapy, nor did I have any real life need to take the test (job, court action, etc.). They came out with significant differences. I took the MMPI-2 test, 2 times within a couple of days.
