How to Score the MMPI-2

    • 1). Place each semi-transparent scoring scale over the answer sheet, if you are using a hand scoring system for the MMPI-2. Record scores for each scale on the profile sheet.

    • 2). Plot the raw scores on the profile sheet. Once you determine the T-scores for each scale, the profile sheet will show you if the patient/client's scores fall into the average range, or whether the scores are significantly high or low. Hand scoring is the least expensive but most time consuming method of scoring the MMPI-2

    • 3). Use a special answer sheet that you will insert into a previously purchased software computer program, if you are using the MMPI-2 computer scoring system. The tests will be scored and interpreted by the program. Computer scoring, though initially expensive, can be cost effective if the MMPI-2 is used frequently.

    • 4). Use the host communication scoring system, which you obtain through NCS Pearson Assessments. Place the answer sheet in the computer system and connect to the host scoring computer, which will yield scores for each scale, an interpretation of each scale and an overall interpretation of the MMPI-2. This method is relatively expensive but useful for clinicians who only occasionally administer the MMPI-2.
