There is not much in terms of gender differences. They have antisocial attitudes, but are not necessarily overtly hostile. Remember, high scorers are unconventional and alienated from society as well as somewhat antisocial, angry, impulsive and unpredictable. Primarily young people who got into trouble for minor stuff. Lots of somatic items that overlap with scale 1.Ĭriterion group was young (17-22) so-called psychopaths. Note that there are high and low scorer descriptors. Two basic item contents that are in fact negatively correlated except in those people who have histrionic complaints: a) complaints about head, arms, legs b) items indicating that patient considers him/herself to be well socialized and well adjusted. It also has a lot of cognitive state items, confusion, lack of concentration, etc. It also has lots of vegetative symptom indicators which are not always involved in DSM MDD. This is because it not only covers obvious symptoms, but also has a specific target of reactive depression. Scale 2 alone is relevant to symptoms of depression, but is not by itself an adequate diagnostic tool for MDD or dysthymia. No other meaningful info about suicide on MMPI-2.
#MMPI 2 CODE TYPE INTERPRETATION CODE#
This is actually lower than most other code types.Īlways review these 6 items. Less than 10% of people who spike on 2 endorse any of the suicide items.
Crude index of psychological mindedness: high scorers tend to be somaticizers.Ĭriterion group were depressed bipolar folks.ĭepression contains the suicide items. People with scores above 70-even if they have chronic illness-are likely to be exaggerating somewhat. A person does not have to have a physical disease, and in fact, a person with a specific sickness will usually only score in the moderate range. Some general notes, important observations for each are below.Ĭontains lots of items that measure individual problems or difficulties with bodily or health concerns. There are 10 clinical scales, and they are named: Hs,Dp,Hy, Pd,5,Pa,Pt,Sc,Ma,Si. First, as we just said, since the mean is T = 50 and the sd is 10, you interpret the MMPI-2 largely by looking at those scores where T = > 1.5 sd, where T = > 65.
