theres nothing a test can tell you about incorporating what you know into your job.
its not a job assessment test with an employer looking for a receptionist that can type 80 words a minute and knows how to input information into a computer kind of test.
the mmpi is just apiece of paper with average, normal questions and a spot to mark your answer.
for what you and your therapist want it for, you can do that during your therapy sessions or take it home with you. for that matter the therapist can ask you the questions verbally and you answer.
the MMPI by itself is no biggie to do and takes only the amount of time for you to mark yes no maybe sometimes and never next to the questions or answer your therapist verbally. I like doing it verbally with my therapist because she asks me a question I answer and most times we spend time talking about my answer and why I answered that way and leads us into the most interesting therapy sessions. my therapist learns more about who I am and what kind of personality I have just by asking me the questions.
the bottom line is the the only way you are going to get the present copy of the correct version that your therapist wants you to take is by your therapist giving it to you. there are no up to date, present day and free versions online
there are lots of treatment provider sites where therapists can download a copy or buy in bulk at discounts..
