I am curious as to what others may think about these discrepancies? JS74793 New Member Posts: 2 Joined: Thu 8:34 pm Likes Received: 0 as she has the proper training to do that. Although we plan to when she has the time to really examine / interpert them etc. I still have yet to discuss the results with my friend, but only because we haven't had time yet. It gave me time to actually think about the questions I was not sure about instead of just picking an answer to get it over with. Which gave me the patience to sit and consider the questions that I was not sure about and actually sit and consider if the answer is really true or false. This allowed me to take the test in a normal way, without the computer freezing up. I took it after upgrading my web browser software. So I really did not give very much thought to the questions, what the questions actually meant, for the ones I was not sure about and just nonchalantly picked an answer without actually thinking "is this really true or really false", etc.īut the second time I took it. Mostly because the computer I was using was freezing up after every 3rd question, and it was freezing up for like 20-30 seconds each time, so after a short while it became VERY VERY annoying and I just wanted to get it finished and see the results.
I kind of rushed thru it, didn't really think about what the questions meant and answered pretty nonchalantly. 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.
