Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is one of the most frequently used personality tests in mental health. The test is used by trained professionals to assist in identifying personality structure and psychopathology. The original authors of the MMPI were Starke R. Hathaway, PhD, and J. C. McKinley, MD MMPI The original MMPI was developed in the late 1930s using an empirical keying approach, which means that the clinical scales were derived by selecting items that were endorsed by patients known to have been diagnosed with certain pathologies The atheoretical approach to MMPI development enabled the test to capture aspects of human psychopathology that were recognizable and meaningful despite changes in clinical theories The atheoretical approach to MMPI development enabled the test to capture aspects of human psychopathology that were recognizable and meaningful despite changes in clinical theories MMPI-2 The first major revision of the MMPI was the MMPI-2, which was standardized on a new national sample of adults in the United States and released in 1989 The current MMPI-2 has 567 items, all true-or-false format, and usually takes between 1 and 2 hours to complete There is an infrequently used abbreviated form of the test that consists of the MMPI-2's first 370 items Current scale composition Clinical scales The original clinical scales were designed to measure common diagnoses of the era. While the descriptions of each type were originally used in assessment, the current practice is to use the numbers only. Number Abbreviation Description What is Measured 1 Hs Hypochondriasis Concern with bodily symptoms 2 D Depression Depressive Symptoms 3 Hy Hysteria Awareness of problems and vulnerabilities 4 Pd Psychopathic Deviate Conflict, struggle, anger, respect for society's rules 5 MF Masculinity/Femininity Stereotypical masculine or feminine interests/behaviors 6 Pa Paranoia Level of trust, suspiciousness, sensitivity 7 Pt Psychasthenia Worry, Anxiety, tension, doubts, obsessiveness 8 Sc Schizophrenia Odd thinking and social alienation 9 Ma Hypomania Level of excitability 0 Si Social Introversion People orientation Codetypes are a combination of the one or two highest-scoring clinical scales (ex. - 8, 48). Codetypes and interaction of clinical scales can be quite complex and require specialized training to properly interpret. Abbreviation New in version Description Assesses ? 1 "Cannot Say" Questions not answered L 1 Lie Client "faking good" F 1 Infrequency Client "faking bad" (in first half of test) K 1 Defensiveness Denial/Evasiveness Fb 2 Back F Client "faking bad" (in last half of test) VRIN 2 Variable Response Inconsistency answering similar/opposite question pairs inconsistently TRIN 2 True Response Inconsistency answering questions all true/all false F-K 2 F minus K honesty of test responses/not faking good or bad S 2 Superlative Self-Presentation improving upon K scale, "appearing excessively good" Fp 2 Psychiatric Infrequency Frequency of presentation in clinical setting Fs 2 RF Infrequent Somatic Response Overreporting of somatic symptoms Content scales To supplement these multidimensional scales and to assist in interpreting the frequently seen diffuse elevations due to the general factor (removed in the RC scales)[31][32] were also developed, with the more frequently used being the substance abuse scales (MAC-R, APS, AAS), designed to assess the extent to which a client admits to or is prone to abusing substances, and the A (anxiety) and R (repression) scales, developed by Welsh after conducting a factor analysis of the original MMPI item pool. Dozens of content scales currently exist, the following are some samples: Abbreviation Description Es Ego Strength Scale OH Over-Controlled Hostility Scale MAC MacAndrews Alcoholism Scale MAC-R MacAndrews Alcoholism Scale Revised Do Dominance Scale APS Addictions Potential Scale AAS Addictions Acknowledgement Scale SOD Social Discomfort Scale A Anxiety Scale R Repression Scale TPA Type A Scale MDS Marital Distress Scale Scoring and interpretation Like many standardized tests, scores on the various scales of the MMPI-2 and the MMPI-2-RF are not representative of either percentile rank or how "well" or "poorly" someone has done on the test. Rather, analysis looks at relative elevation of factors compared to the various norm groups studied. Raw scores on the scales are transformed into a standardized metric known as T-scores (Mean or Average equals 50, Standard Deviation equals 10), making interpretation easier for clinicians references en.Wikipedia.org Intelligence (also called intellect) is an umbrella term used to describe a property of the mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, to plan, to solve problems, to think abstractly, to comprehend ideas, to use language, and to learn Intelligence may include traits such as creativity, personality, character, knowledge, or wisdom. Or simply inteligence is learning from your past experience and utulizing the knowledge to find a way out of a situation to find a wayout. Remember the famous monkey traped in a room with some boxes Intelligence, as measured by IQ and other aptitude tests, is widely used in educational, business, and military settings due to its efficacy in predicting behavior. g is highly correlated with many important social outcomes - individuals with low IQs are more likely to be divorced, have a child out of marriage, be incarcerated, and need long term welfare support, while individuals with high IQs are associated with more years of education, higher status jobs and higher income. Why most of the inteligence focus on vocabulary It is an easy and comprehenshive indicator of a candidate abilty to grasp new information. Widley used in many colleges It is widley believed that people of high IQ are emotionaly more stable.

Autobiography
An autobiography is usualy taken in interview to have a insight of candidate perception of the world
We usualy percieve what others think of our action and make opinion regarding our actions and thinking how the other would think of it. May be the other guys would have high regards for a person but the person concerned may think of him as nemesis The person concerned would not be guaging about the ture intention of others peculiar behavior. Coleys looking glass theory have an insight about how to write autobiography You give the intimate insight of your personality while making an autobiography .

My suggestions
Personality would be troublesome when the fuctioning of the members of the society would be disturbed by the queer behavior of an individual.
He would be a pain ........................... to all. However this cant be termed as psycosis where there is loss of touch to reality. Ones personality may fall in the three clusters but as lond as he is functioning normaly in a group, obeying conformity to mores and norms he is considered healthy However the prevelance of personalty disorder is more than 70 percent in human population The biggest hazard to mankind. So dont hide your personality especialy in sentence completion and objectdrawing . It such an inherent conflict. Be proud of what u are God made u like this ;however your action should be concientious to social codes What emile durkheim called as socety as psycho-social normative order. So think of your self as a teamplayer , imagine all the niceties of the world and answer the questionair on a postive note. The objectivity and positivity on your part must be evident on the scrutinier Dont lie ever
