The MMPI II is a personality indicator test. Now, before you freak out, this doesn't mean you have a personality disorder. It is simply a tool used to help evaluate YOUR personality type. It can also indicate other problems that need to be addressed. Trauma Inventory is no big deal. . .basically answering questions about what happened to you.

Let me offer one bit of advice. . .QUIT TRYING TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE TESTS! Your therapist seems to think you might benefit from them, if you trust her, then go ahead and take them. If you find out about the testings ahead of time, common nature says that you're going to try to answer the questions one particular way or another. Throwing the test dowesn't help anyone, and even if you've no desire to do that, getting information ahead of time can cause this subconsciously to happen.

neither of the tests are hard indicators of any sort of diagnosis. They are only tools used to help yoru therapist and psychologist/psychiatrist to help you figure out what's going on.

Don't sweat it, ok?
