If you have an ASD, you'll most likely end up with Schizophrenia on this test.

Just FYI and all.

Another silly test with another set of silly questions. 4 that particularly stand out:

121. I have never indulged in unusual sex practices.

What is an 'unusual sexual practice"? What is considered normal by one person can be seen as unusual by another.

191. I would like to be a journalist.

Absurd nonsense.

222. Children should be taught all the main facts of sex.

What is considered a child? Age 2? 7? 12? 15? What?

298. Peculiar odors come to me at times. :lol:

To think some people get paid good money for writing these tests and others take the results seriously.

A lot of those questions seem irrelevant no matter what your answer is.

The one that sticks out in my mind most is the one "I have never vomited blood or coughed up blood." I have. What does that have to do with anything?

"The sight of blood does not frighten me or make me sick."

It doesn't bother me. Why would it? Is that "crazy" or would it bothering me be "crazy".

"I am not afraid of mice."

I'm not. I have pet mice and rats and love rodents very much. I also know people who are afraid of them. How does it matter either way?

I found this looking for something else. I'm still confused about my test results but it might be helpful.

I'm kind of confused about the "fake bad scale". Does that mean according to them I'm faking? I don't get it.

No; most people who score high on that scale aren't faking. The scale contains items that are particularly unusual--things that most people would answer the same way. A high score on the F scale means that you answered some of those items the opposite way of the usual answer. It's an infrequency scale, basically. It's commonly elevated in people with mental illnesses, and, oddly enough, in typical teenagers.

Not "Schizophrenia"; the "schizophrenia scale". There's a difference.

The schiozphrenia scale on the MMPI basically measures whether you have an unusual or eccentric personality. People with actual schizophrenia score high on it; but so do people who are eccentric, who aren't from the Western culture the test presumes, who have had unusual life experiences, who are introverted or separated from society, or who have an unusual mind in some other way--which, yes, includes having autism.

The schizophrenia scale can be quite misleading; just remember it is a measure of how many unusual traits and experiences you have, and you'll have a good enough estimate to go by.

I have taken this test by actual doctors and boy is it long! I can't concentrate long enough to do it now.

Thanks for this. You know a lot more about it than I do, and this is insightful into my scores.

How do you answer the questions that don't really apply? I'm in the middle of it now and came across this one: 268. I wish I were not bothered by thoughts about sex.
I'm not bothered by such thoughts so I can't really say True, I wish I weren't bothered by them and to me False would say that you are ok with being bothered by such thoughts. They need an N/A option.

I think you can leave some blank, though if there's too many it might invalidate the test.

Yeah, I see that now that I'm done. I scored below a 75 in every category. My highest was a 70 in Superlative Self-Presentation and in only 6 did I get a 60 or higher. On the schizophrenia scale my T score was only 53. In 18 of the categories my score was in the 30s with Obsessiveness and Family Problems tying for the lowest at 33. Like someone else on here, I'm curious as to why 5 of the categories have a K score in addition to the T score that they all have.

found this.... I think it explains some of the results, and the theory behind the test, and applicable cautions http://falseallegations.com/mmpi-bw.htm


actually, what is an aspie supposed to make of a statement like this, which is listed under "deviate thinking and experiences"?:

At times I hear so well that it bothers me.

to which I truthfully replied: True

and to which I would add-- I have the plate with the holes in the glaze to prove it!***

but telling the truth on a question will not convince anyone that you are not deviate, if you are not NT. :cry:




**** ok, here's the story about the plate-- I had a decorative plate hanging on the wall *about 4 feet from my head* --held up there with one of those little metal hangers that have tiny springs putting tension on the claws around the edge of the plate. Every time one of those thundering bass car stereos would pass the house, the little springs on the back of that plate hanger would hum... and drive me EFFING CRAZY!. The neighbors all know I'm the crazy lady who hates noise-- my meltdowns over that are, unfortunately, public knowledge. One day, taking the plate down to clean it, I saw that the metal clamp --which was designed to hang plates without damage had actually worn holes right through the glaze and into the ceramic. That could ONLY happen if the piece of metal was MOVING ! so, you see, I am NOT crazy, I could actually hear that spring humming on the back of the plate, on the wall above my head. Proof. HA! :shameonyou:

Huh. Looks like this is still an open thread. Anyhow, my mum's been telling me to check this site out for years and I'm only looking at it now because I was looking into the MMPI test. I hardly scored below 50 on anything (I may be mistaken, but I think that 50 is supposed to be the mean) and I got above 75 on a whole pile of things. I got above 75 or 80 on almost all of the ten basic things on the test. Does that mean I'm an absolute mental mess, or that the test is silly? Some of the red flags down at the bottom struck me as kind of silly. For example, I got a few for alcoholism and I've only ever had alcohol three or four times in my life.
