i dont doubt that you answered everything as honestly as you could, but it's a SUPER long test, so sometimes we answer one item one way and then a similar item a different way - not because we're lying, but just because it's the answer that seemed right for that particular question. The results being inconsistent just means that your particular results might not fit a standard profile and that the clinician found it hard to draw a conclusion based on your exam. kind of like offering a healthy diet and exercise program to someone who need heart surgery? this doesn't mean you're a failure, just that this group has a different client intake criteria and that you might not get the best out of this group also. maybe your distress levels were a lot higher than this particular DBT group is able to accomodate.

what it does is ranks you against the rest of the population on a variety of different aspects, so that you can see how you stand compared to the 'average' person. The MMPI is a personality assessment - you can't actually 'fail' it (because everyone has a personality!). Has anyone else had a bad experience in testing? I think I should just quit this skills training because she said that I was only a fair candidate and that I would struggle very hard with myself to learn new ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. ĭoes anyone ever come out looking normal after these? She also gave me the ink blot test and just said a bunch of things like I am seriously impaired in this.and have major deficits in.

Seriously this is more demoralizing than anything.

I did not try to make myself seem like a better person than I am. I didn't overthink anything and really what came to my mind when I read each question is what I put down. WTF? I answered everything soooo honestly. Has anyone ever failed the mmpi 2? I had to take it to get into this new DBT skills training and the pysch who evaluated the exam said that I showed too much distress and that my answers were inconsistent so the results were inconclusive.
