Thanks Potter, i'm going to bring this up to him on "why" I need to take this test?  It seems ridiculous.

Thanks Bob.  I'm not taking offense, i'm just questioning it.  What you described is what he said, but in Greek it seems, lol!

That's a test? Better bring a pig sticker to stick in the doc's eye, maybe then he will get the idea.

What a bunch of schlocky questions..

What's this one mean?
"70.I used to like drop-the-handkerchief"

What kind of a question is that?

I wonder if theres a study guide.

Well, under my name these days there is all this gibberish, and I have no idea what it means, or how it got there.

I have no idea what to drop a hankie means either... Or why anyone would like to drop one..

By the way I don't get any motor magazine to read for fun, but read plenty of tech data on automotive data for diagnositcs, but I call that work.

The test as shown is schlock.. I wish CH was....

The MMPI (and MMPI II) is a clinical test used to evaluate an individuals personality.   It provides clear, valid descriptions of people's problems, symptoms, and characteristics in broadly accepted clinical language.

Now, is the neuro going to refer you to a psychologist/psychiatrist to have this done?  I would also check with your insurance, as this might not be covered (some insurance plans get stupid when it comes to psychological tests, counseling, etc.).  If I were you, I would ask why he wants to have this test done, what he thinks he might learn from the results and how will he use those results.

If you have nothing better to do and don't mind something like this being part of your permanent medical file, go for it.  Although this test is considered accurate, it is possible to *play with the answers* and skew the results.

I had so much info thrown at me at the neuro
appt. that I really didn't ask too much about this test.
I thought he said something about how I deal with clusters while in cycle.  As we all know, everybody handles this demon differently.  I am also scheduled for an EEG and MRI this coming Monday.  He told me about insurance possibly not covering the MMPI test so I am aware of that.  The thing I like about him most is that he is a D.O. rather than an M.D.  I always thought DO's support alternative treatments or therapies and this doc definitely does since he supports the use of LSA, shrooms and LSD.  He wasn't quick to put me on meds, however that is an option if the hallucinogens fail.

Brew, Fixed i guess... Dunno what that was..

I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but that MMPI test isn't either. Anyone who wasted their time filling that out deserves what ever is said by a ju ju witch doctor, as that to me is about as much good as it can do.

I can see anyone can read into it what they want to see. I wouldn't do one, much less pay to take it.

I can tell if paint is in a pot, or if it's mud, plain right off..

Maybe anyone who takes that test should also consider paying for a nice tea leaf reading.. 

Chad you always seem fine to me... LOL

Go see the guy but tell him he can take the test in your place, and let you determine if he is set... 

I have seen a lot of screwy doctors..

Brew, maybe Chad likes dropping hankies? 

I have no idea what that means.. In this day and age there is lots of things I don't know what they mean..

I wonder if it is a 'gay' related question? But in truth I have no idea what it could possibly mean and understand why, unless someone who knows says so...

The other day on a tool site I read a term "babydaddy" and searched it.. I still don't know what that means.. I don't think I want to..
