SYNOPSIS

Scores on the MMPI-2-RF validity scales raise concerns about the possible impact of unscorable responses on the validity of this protocol. With that caution noted, scores on the substantive scales indicate cognitive complaints and emotional, thought, behavioral, and interpersonal dysfunction. Cognitive complaints include difficulties in memory and concentration. Emotional-internalizing findings relate to suicidal ideation. Dysfunctional thinking includes ideas of persecution and aberrant perceptions and thoughts. Behavioral-externalizing problems include aggression and excessive activation. Interpersonal difficulties relate to over-assertiveness.

PROTOCOL VALIDITY

Content Non-Responsiveness

Unscorable Responses

The test taker answered less than 90% of the items on the following scales. The resulting scores may therefore be artificially lowered. In particular, the absence of elevation on these scales is not interpretable1. A list of all items for which the test taker provided unscorable responses appears under the heading "Item-Level Information."

Symptom Validity (FBS-r): 87% Adjustment Validity (K-r): 86% Cynicism (RC3): 47% Aesthetic-Literary Interests (AES): 86%

Inconsistent Responding

The test taker responded to the items in a consistent manner, indicating that he responded relevantly.

Over-Reporting

There are no indications of over-reporting in this protocol.

Under-Reporting

There are no indications of under-reporting in this protocol.

This interpretive report is intended for use by a professional qualified to interpret the MMPI-2-RF. The information it contains should be considered in the context of the test taker's background, the circumstances of the assessment, and other available information.

SUBSTANTIVE SCALE INTERPRETATION

Clinical symptoms, personality characteristics, and behavioral tendencies of the test taker are described in this section and organized according to an empirically guided framework. Statements containing the word "reports" are based on the item content of MMPI-2-RF scales, whereas statements that include the word "likely" are based on empirical correlates of scale scores. Specific sources for each statement can be viewed with the annotation features of this report.

The following interpretation needs to be considered in light of cautions noted about the possible impact of unscorable responses on the validity of this protocol.

Somatic/Cognitive Dysfunction

The test taker reports a diffuse pattern of cognitive difficulties2. He is likely to complain about memory problems3, to have low tolerance for frustration4, not to cope well with stress4, and to experience difficulties in concentration5.

Emotional Dysfunction

The test taker reports a history of suicidal ideation and/or attempts6. He is likely to be preoccupied with suicide and death7 and to be at risk for current suicidal ideation and attempts7. This risk is exacerbated by poor impulse control8.

Thought Dysfunction

The test taker reports significant persecutory ideation such as believing that others seek to harm him9. He is likely to be suspicious of and alienated from others10, to experience interpersonal difficulties as a result of suspiciousness11, and to lack insight11.

He reports unusual thought processes12. He is likely to experience thought disorganization13, to engage in unrealistic thinking14, and to believe he has unusual sensory-perceptual abilities15.

Behavioral Dysfunction

The test taker's responses indicate significant externalizing, acting-out behavior, which is likely to have gotten him into difficulties16. More specifically, he is very likely to be restless and become bored17 and to be acutely over-activated as manifested in aggression18, mood instability19, euphoria17, excitability20, and sensation-seeking, risk-taking, or other forms of under-controlled, irresponsible behavior21. He reports episodes of heightened excitation and energy level22 and may have a history of symptoms associated with manic or hypomanic episodes23. He also reports engaging in physically aggressive, violent behavior and losing control24, and is indeed likely to have a history of violent behavior toward others25.

Interpersonal Functioning Scales

The test taker describes himself as having strong opinions, as standing up for himself, as assertive and direct, and able to lead others26. He is likely to believe he has leadership capabilities, but to be viewed by others as domineering, self-centered, and possibly grandiose27. He also reports enjoying social situations and events28, and is likely to be perceived as outgoing and gregarious29.

ID: Mr. IMMPI-2-RF® Interpretive Report: Clinical Settings 1/13/14, Page 9

SA MP

LE

Interest Scales

The test taker reports an above average number of interests in activities or occupations of a mechanical or physical nature (e.g., fixing and building things, the outdoors, sports)30. Individuals who respond in this manner are likely to be adventure- and sensation-seeking31. The extent to which he lacks aesthetic or literary interests cannot be accurately gauged because of unscorable responses. There is possible evidence that he indicates little or no interest in activities or occupations of an aesthetic or literary nature (e.g., writing, music, the theater)32.

DIAGNOSTIC CONSIDERATIONS

This section provides recommendations for psychodiagnostic assessment based on the test taker's MMPI-2-RF results. It is recommended that he be evaluated for the following:

Emotional-Internalizing Disorders

- Cycling mood disorder33

Thought Disorders

- Disorders involving persecutory ideation34

- Disorders manifesting psychotic symptoms35

- Personality disorders manifesting unusual thoughts and perceptions36

- Schizoaffective disorder37

Behavioral-Externalizing Disorders

- Manic or hypomanic episode or other conditions associated with excessive energy and activation38

- Disorders associated with interpersonally aggressive behavior such as intermittent explosive disorder39

TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS

This section provides inferential treatment-related recommendations based on the test taker's MMPI-2-RF scores.

Areas for Further Evaluation

- Risk for suicide should be assessed immediately40.

- May require inpatient treatment due to hypomania 41.

- Need for mood-stabilizing medication42.

- Origin of cognitive complaints43. May require a neuropsychological evaluation.

ID: Mr. IMMPI-2-RF® Interpretive Report: Clinical Settings 1/13/14, Page 10

SA MP

LE

- Unlikely to be internally motivated for treatment45.

- At significant risk for treatment non-compliance45.

- Excessive behavioral activation may interfere with treatment42.

Possible Targets for Treatment

- Mood stabilization in initial stages of treatment41

- Persecutory ideation44

- Inadequate self-control45

- Reduction in interpersonally aggressive behavior39
