I had full psychological testing in college and then again about 5 years ago. The MMPI was part of both sets of testing. As part of the the full battery of testing, the results were reviewed together with other test results to create a comprehensive psychological assessment and the individual results of the various tests were never discussed alone. Personally, I liked that approach feeling that the pscyhologists who did the testing weren't relying solely on the results from one test to diagnose or describe me. I'm sure it was a much more expensive route than just giving the MMPI.

My T gave my son the MMPI on its own just to be sure he wasn't missing anything. He sat down with my son and I and went through the test results, explaining what the various categories meant and where he fell within them. There weren't any particular surprises for my T or us really, but it was at least good to know we are on the right track.
