The Effects of Testing Circumstance and Education Level on MMPI-2 Correction Scale Scores

[摘要] The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) is used by the Federal Aviation Administration to assess psychopathology in air traffic control specialist applicants after a conditional offer of employment is extended. Two groups are compared in this study on their level of Scale K, which is used as a measure of defensiveness (putting one's best foot forward - faking good), but which may be influenced by socioeconomic status and education.
