Your S (superlative self-presentation) score was 53, indicating a probable invalid test result. My Lie T-score of 52 is below 55 so I don't aim to be socially correct or morally self-righteous. A high L may signify a naive nature, ill-prepared to deal with difficulties or problems as these surface in real-time." A T-Score of 55 or more may suggest a presentation of moral righteousness. T-Scores above 60 are rarely seen on this scale. A high score means that the subject is claiming socially correct behavior the unreal nature of which is common sense to everyone else. "Lie measures whether an individual is trying to look good or rather is willing to own up to basic human vulnerabilities. Your L score of 74 indicates that you try to present yourself to others as better than you really are. I am not doubting that the graph is useful, just that it isn't 100% necessary for interpretation. Are the two previous sentences incorrect? This means that you can easily still determine which values end up being abnormal and which are within the normal range. From what I was reading (please feel free to correct me), the normal score range is a fixed value and does NOT change from person to person. The "normal" score range is shown between the two parallel, horizontal lines, no? Thus, the farther away from this range, the more abnormal the scores are. Ok then, how does that graph invalidate my statements? It quickly gives you a visual idea of the more extreme scores, but it doesn't at all meed you absolutely need to graph it. If all it does is give you a scale score, then it's useless. If it can interpret your results then it's good. That's how I know about the MMPI and how the results are interpreted. Updated -īy the way, one day long, long ago I decided to read a book (yes, a real book!) about the MMPI.
