> 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.

The MMPI assesses both state and trait. It assesses how you're feeling at the time you complete the assessment, as well as stable personality components.
