ABSTRACT
For some contemporary users, MMPI-2 interpretation involves reviewing the patient score profile in conjunction with an expertly crafted, computergenerated report. The algorithms underlying interpretive reports variously draw on actuarially derived information. Other users begin with an extended profile of scores obtained either by computer scoring or hand scoring, after which they apply an interpretive strategy based on their training or on a defining text or both. Still others approach the task more or less intuitively, perhaps even idiosyncratically.
