this sounds like Scientology.Claims to be "science" but no one is allowed to "look under the hood" much less "show work" of how it was "invented".Makes specific, but also vague enough to be "unfalsifiable", claims.Sets it self up as an authority, but never allows itself to be questioned.I can guarantee without even checking that it makes the Shrinks who are the only people to who it sells the tests and "training" sign a bunch of very scary legal agreements that they can never do any research on if the MMPI is legit or not, or even fully disclose the legal agreement itself.One of the two big Florida Uni's once thought "Wow, that MMPI is like a License to print money. MMPI says all they really did was have a large and 'diverse' bunch of people take sample tests and match with what they really know about them, and shuffle and filter, etc. We got lots of people to do same thing! :)"No, I'm not posting this because I got a bad MMPI result, but I might have to take one, due to Govt regulations, which rubs me the wrong way.The FL Uni said they were "unable to duplicate experiment's results" which is how The Science types say "You are a fraud".A frat in UC Berk (Betas? AKA "masterbetas") use to give new members an "MMPI test", then they'd show them "official result", which was actually random MMPI results. "Gee, that is what I'm like!" No retard, its like a horoscope. Its vague enough people can talk themselves into it. Frats do some IMO underrated "education" of members on such things. They also use TV show "Bar Rescue" as "better than any MBA", plus funny AF, but I digress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_Rescue "Bar Rescue" guy also claims "its a SCIENCE". lolHow about I tell you anything you want to know about me, then you tell me what month I was born in? :) (OK, I'll need to be over 24 months old. You MIGHT be able to correctly "read" my reverse horoscope if I'm a newborn)

>>536661526I'm a therapist. No one in the mental health industry uses the MMPI-2 - it's complete pseudoscience. Some corporations still use it in hiring practices, but they're idiots.
>>536663094LOAD OF SHIT
>>536663291Really? Who uses it?
>>536663343the basic mmpi is compromised because there is so much info available people can game the test to project what they wantmmpi-2 is too new for that and not as much info available so it is harder to fake and more accurate presumably
>>536662954"The first question is: For who am I working".I once took "Abnormal Pysch 101" in Jr College because it fit my schedule. It was full of hot chicks, lots of wannabe school teachers, etc.This was before I was fully pilled on the Jewish Problem, but even so.Textbook was pushing how beneficial psychoanalysis is, for anyone! :)Something about "the ideal candidate is healthy, well adjusted, ATTRACTIVE (emphasis mine of course), AFFUENT (ditto), young, intelligent, successful, open minded, stable family and social situation". So WTF do they need "medical care" exactly?
>>536663764That didn't answer my question at all.
>>536663343Its required by some State Govts to become a cop, armed guard, etc.If given all these psycho cops a "clean bill" is EMPIRICAL proof its a hoax, then I don't know WTF is.I've know at least a 1/2 dozen recent cops and even though I didn't know them well at least 4 are clearly insane, and "not in a good way".Law Enforcement: Police officers, sheriff's deputies, and state troopers (often part of POST or P.O.S.T. certification).Armed Security: Armed security guards and private protection details (such as Level 3/Level 4 officers in Texas).Public Safety: Firefighters and emergency dispatchers.Aviation & Transportation: Pilots and air traffic controllers.High-Security Industries: Nuclear power plant personnel, military recruits, and certain Department of Defense contractors.Specialized Roles: Probation officers and clergy members.
>>536664456Exactly - we don't use it in actual, clinical mental health work because we know it's bullshit. Private companies and the government use it for hiring practices because they're retarded.
>>536664680MMPI no doubt funds a staff of Kike lawyers and "expert witness" Kike shrinks "on the downlow" always poised to say "but they failed to use any of the well proven tests, so they are NEGLIGENT".

A few notable psychologists and researchers who have provided critical, skeptical, or reformative testing and analysis of the instrument include:Edward Helmes and Gregory J. Boyle: In their peer-reviewed evaluations of the MMPI and MMPI-2, these researchers identified significant psychometric limitations, including the lack of a consistent measurement model, heavy scale overlap, and inadequate measures of response styles. Their work positioned the MMPI as "suboptimal" when compared to modern psychometric standards.Paul Lees-Haley & James Butcher: The "Fake Bad Scale" (FBS) or Symptom Validity Scale introduced into the MMPI-2 has been the subject of heavy empirical scrutiny. While Lees-Haley developed the scale for use in personal injury, its empirical validity has been aggressively challenged by prominent MMPI scholars like James Butcher, who found it falsely flagged a large percentage of legitimate psychiatric patients as faking their symptoms.Richard Rogers: A leading researcher in psychological malingering, Rogers has conducted numerous studies testing how well the MMPI-2 validity scales actually classify individuals attempting to fake bad or fake good. His research defines the limits of the test's specificity and sensitivity under "coached" or simulated conditions.

No, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) cannot be taken double-blind.A double-blind study requires that both the person taking the test and the person administering or scoring it are unaware of key variables (such as who is receiving a placebo versus an active medication). This standard does not apply to the MMPI for the following reasons:The Test-Taker Role: The MMPI is a self-report assessment measuring the test-taker's personal mental health symptoms, behaviors, and personality traits. The individual must be aware of what they are experiencing to answer the hundreds of true or false questions.The Administrator Role: The test must be administered and interpreted by a qualified, licensed psychologist or psychiatrist who specifically understands the test's complex validity scales. The administrator needs to know who the test-taker is to properly score, contextualize, and analyze the results against the correct demographic and clinical baseline.
