Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Yes Nick, I know that. But the " built in lie detectors " are easy to fake your way through. I don't think you need to know a lot about the MMPI (although I've taken it before) to get past them. I saw the complete MMPI scores I got and I scored high on honesty. haha Donna > Hi Donna - > > Bad news on the MMPI. It has built into it questions that evaluate > your tendency to fib.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 One of the ones I remember from the original MMPI was: " I use the same table manners with company that I do at home. " (True/False). I don't remember the others. When you took the test, the columns had gaps and the lie scores were either at the bottom or top of one of these gaps. Sorry not to have better info.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Oh hell, If they are gonna ask me about my table manners, they are gonna deny me the surgery for sure.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 The correct answer is true. We avoid belching when we eat at the local bistro. At home is another matter.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Takes note, Home belching is fine...anything about scratching?

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 The bistro was purely metaphorical. We don't have 'em in Sage so my experience is actually quite limited.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 My answer - PART II As to the scratching, I would defer to Roseann Barr and ask if she scratches the same at home as she does on the baseball field.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 It is all true or false. They space many of the Q's out so you " forget " what you said, but it's really pretty simple. I like to work on mechanical things. T or F I'd like a subscribtion to Popular Mechanics. T or F I like to read. T or F I think I'd like to be a librarian. T or F Things like that. Just have to look for them, it's pretty easy!

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 I'm not sure if it is the same as the MMPI or not, but several years ago (15+) I took a psych test for a state job and recall some of the trick questions. What they did was ask the same question more than once but worded differently hoping that you would forget how you answered the first time. It was usually something that was toatally irrelevent to the job or your state of mind. I think I was asked if I liked to read the editorials 3-4 times. The point being there is no write or wrong answer. They were looking for consistency.
