Hey hun! Did some research and this is what I found for you. MMPI was revised to MMPI 2 in 1989, so that is most likely the one you took. I too took it, but my old therapist never commented on it. Only said it was inconclusive. What does that mean? Thinking I should give him a call.. Maybe I don't want to know...
Back to you..
MMPI is good for diagnosing psychiatric disorders (ie hypomania, depression, hysteria, ect.) but it can also suggest personality disorders like antisocial personality disorder. I did some more research to see if this was correct adn found that...
Borderline personality disorder (I only picked this because I thought it would be easier to find info)
scores high on scale 4 and scale 6
and low on scale 5So, I suppose the MMPI can suggest personality disorders. I'll take another look on histronic and see what I come up with...
