PS When I took the MMPI about 10 years ago the PhD psychologist who scored it (psychiatrist had ordered it) said "pretty much this says you are very depressed, almost like a vegetable". I didn't like that vegetable part as I found it very unprofessional and told me nothing. I wish I had taken him up on his offer to put in writing his findings which he should have done anyway. A "professional report" of his findings. I told him I didn't need him to or want him to. Now I wish I had. At the time I was told that a psychologist has to evaluate the test, not just "any" mental health professional. Say for example, a clinical social worker who has an MSW and does therapy. (Which is what I am seeing now.) The psychologist who evaluated the exam was an a**!
