Empirical Correlates of Low Scores in MMPI-2 Scales in an Outpatient Mental Health Setting.

Graham, John R.; Ben-Porath, Yossef S.; McNulty, John L.

Psychological Assessment, v9 n4 p386-91 Dec 1997

The meaning of low scores on some Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) scales was examined by comparing therapists' descriptors of 669 mental health patients with high, normal, or low scores on each scale. Results show that for most scales both high and low scores provide potentially important information. (SLD)
