The MMPI-2 Score
The interruption of the MMPI-2 is called the SCORE. Assigned to each question within the MMPI quiz is a base score of zero which will in total produce a mean score of around 50 for each of the scales being measured. Certain combinations of answers to the questions will add or minus 1 point of your score and at the end your final result is presented.
The score average is around 50 (The test will adjust averages for males and females and a few other different aspects) with a standard deviation of 10 points per deviation Thus, a score of 60 is one standard deviation above the mean, while a score of 30 is two standard deviations below the mean.
Understanding Standard Deviation
Standard deviation is a widely used measure of variability or diversity used in statistics and probability theory. It shows how much variation or “dispersion” exists from the average (mean, or expected value). A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean, whereas high standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over sie sucht ihn erotik cologne a large range of values.
It is useful for expressing the variability of a population, standard deviation is commonly used to measure confidence in statistical conclusions.
How to Read your Score
1) Identify the T score you want to interpret.
This will come from the results of the test
2) Look at your T score on the normal distribution.
Average is any score between 40-60, A slight issue would be between 30-40 or 60-70. Problem areas with a score below 30 and over 70
3) Compare your score to the average T score.
Different for males and females
4) Look at what the test (and thus the T score) is measuring.

The accurate interpretation of your MMPI results is one of the reasons those who are trained and qualified to administer the MMPI tests like to strongly discourage people attempting to do it themselves. It does take training and knowledge to get a psychological accuracy that is useful for employment or court use of the MMPI.
