I took the MMPI back in 1970 :-) Don't know if/how it might have changed. It's yes/no stuff about ambiguous questions. It will ask the same sorts of questions over and over (to check your consistency on something or other?) in slightly different words, it can be a bit wearing. It doesn't "allow" for black and white Truth. One question I remember was "I never lie" and I answered "True" because it was at the time, but "they" have "decided" :-) that everyone lies in some way or another at some time or another, we're not perfect :-) So watch for black and white thinking! I got confused because another question was "I loved my father" past-tense, and he was still alive :-) There's no right/wrong answers and there's a HUGE group of people over time who have taken the test that they have "sorted" so it's a fairly accurate test for whatever "they" have decided it is accurate for? It's not scary or "hard" but you see how it can kind of make you think/wonder what they're up to? But it's too huge/too many questions and level of complication to be able to really get any feel for what you might be "saying" until it's actually scored/interpreted. I recommend just relaxing and enjoying it and looking forward to anything it might shed light on for you and your helpers.
