3. I am breathing. TRUE FALSE
END OF TEST
***************************************************************************
These questions seem innocuous until they are interpreted. The
following intpretive sturcture incoprporates all the pseudoscience and
pseudologic found in the interpretive structure for the MMPI-2.
1. I am right handed.
TRUE FALSE
Spouse Abuse Potential Deviant Life Style
Child Abuse Potential Stress Scale
Ego Strength Work Problems Scale
Committed Child Abuse Anxiety Scale
Committed Spouse Abuse
2. I am left handed.
TRUE FALSE
Spouse Abuse Potential Ego Strength
Child Abuse Potential
Deviant Life Style
Work Problems Scale
Stress Scale
Commited Child Abuse
Commited Spouse Abuse
Anxiety Scale
3. I am breathing.
TRUE FALSE
Spouse Abuse Health Concerns
Child Abuse Potential Lying Scale
Committed Child Abuse Acute Anxiety
Committed Spouse Abuse
Deviant Life Style
Work Problems
Stress Scale
Ego Strength
Anxiety Scale
(Based upon the answer option selected one point is scored for each
scale listed under the selected answer. Other scales score points based upon
paired questions.)
Inconistency/Deception Scale
1. I am right handed. TRUE
2. I am left handed. TRUE
1. I am right handed. FALSE
2. I am left handed. FALSE
[Responding TRUE to both items or FALSE to both items would score one
point on the Inconsistency/Deception Scale. This sounds reasonable until one
considers how special populations could respond. An ambidextrous individual
could honestly answer TRUE or FALSE to both questions. Persons without
limbs, by accident or birth, could answer FALSE to both questions.]
The following responses would result in this "diagnosis."
1. TRUE
2. FALSE
3. TRUE
"Respondent's answers indicate individual has engaged in past acts of
child and spouse abuse. Potential to engage in child abuse and spouse is
indicated as are ego strength problems. Individual has difficulty performing
work tasks and experiences difficulty cooperating with co-workers. Individual
also exhibits indications of stress and anxiety which are related to work
place difficulties and deviant life style."
*************************************************************************
Although this the logic behind this test and inperpretation are so
ludicrous one may laugh, remember that this is how the MMPI-2 test works.
I have not and will not be able to check all the psychological and evaluation
test to see if all have the same problem. I suspect that they do. If anyone
else can do this, I will give you the analytical methodolgy I developed to
evaluate the MMPI-2.
I find that I have no word in my vocabulary sufficient to adequately
describe the odious nature of anyone who would knowingly use a test, such as
the one depicted here, in any situation that could adversely effect another
persons life. It would be unconscionable to use this test in child custody
or or legal descions. Yet, the MMPI-2 is used. There is no humor in that.
I have serious concerns that the psychologists and social workers who
knowingly rely on the MMPI-2 and other entrapment tools will regret not
having thouhgt of this before and actually use the rediculous mimic test
stated here.
************************************************************************
On a personal note, I miss and regret not being able to talk to
everyone on a regular basis, but my health has deteriorated somewhat further.
I have chosen to focus my attention where I think I can do the most good.
Merry Christmas and God bless us one and all in the coming year.
