Yes I have taken the MMPI. It helped make some personality issues clear to me.
Thomas, you took this test because you thought there was a problem and guess what...there is ! Welcome to the club. Lots of people get depressed
and this tends to bring on feelings of worthlessness. Be glad you did not score high on some od the other indices...the ones that would indicate you are parionoid and thus indicae a more serious mental illness. You have depression which is the most treatable illness...lots of people have it and do well. I have been a happy camper 360 days a year since i went on AD's in 1985.The MMPI is not a test you pass or fail...it is just a snapshot of how you feel now....if you take the MMPI after you have gotten some treatment I'm sure you will be happy with the results.
Now that you have the MMPI results I think the most important question is "what are you going to do now about it ? Focus on that and put the test behind you.
