Oh, I was very fond of the MMPI. It described me better than any DSM-IV category. I'm a 2-7-8, which fits with the schizotypal. And better yet, it pointed out some things about me that helped me understand better why I do the things I do, which was a big obsession of mine at the time I took the test. Also important, it helped my therapist understand me a bit better too, I think.
lol. I looked up the code in "Essentials of MMPI2 and MMPIA Interpretation" to refresh my memory, and found "overreacts to even minor stress and may show rapid behavioral deterioration". I'll have to bring that into therapy next time, as it has a fair amount of applicability at the moment.
I wonder if the MMPI results change over time? It would be interesting to take it again one day when I'm feeling better.
