![]() ![]() I answered every single question honestly and my validitaty score was way off based to over reporting meaning I reported more problems than people with severe mental health problems including the worst of the worst like sociopaths. To this day I am very frightened by this test, for lack of a better word. I think that while test has its flaws and in some cases it can be wrong (which makes me dislike it), it can still yield fairly accurate results other times. Especially because some questions are really obscure (for instance, one of the very first questions is about whether or not you like mechanics magazines). The minute you start trying to think about why they're asking every single question and what answer they want, you'll start stressing and making mistakes. Don't overthink your answers too much.Don't lie to make yourself look better.The infrequency scale (for example, if different answers to the same question are worded slightly differently).The lie scale (questions like the movies question).There are also validity scales that attempt to detect if you are not telling the truth, such as: If you earn too many points on some scales, they may cross the normal threshold. Each answer gains you points on different scales, such as depression and paranoia. ![]() The weighted validity scales method was robust enough to account for “emotional distress” and still identify invalid MMPI-2 performance.The MMPI-2 works by asking you multiple choice questions. The findings support the need for multiple validity scales to be examined in determining a valid profile. ![]() The overall finding showed 100% specificity and 86% sensitivity. In a group of knowledgeable actors (malingerers), 86% was correctly classified. The findings of this study suggest that chronic pain patients in litigation produce a different profile on the MMPI-2 validity scales than do nonlitigants. The weighted method was able to correctly classify 100% of nonlitigants, using a cutoff score of ≥5. The current study examined a method of combining seven different validity scales of the MMPI-2 into a common weighted method in assessing malingering in chronic pain patients. There have been numerous methods developed for the detection of valid profiles on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI)-2. ![]()
