I have added a paragraph to begin to differentiate use of a test from the practice of psychological assessment. There is a need for development of this article and a more general article about psychological assessment. The related article about psychological testing is part of the collection of these (psych assessment does not equal psychological testing.

The article could use information about how the test works. I vaguely remember from a psychology 101 class I took a few years ago that the results are based entirely off empirical evidence or something(I guess as opposed to however that guy came up with his inkblot test)?RadioYeti 19:15, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Is it true that they have to use a special scale to score the MMPI if the test is taken by a Catholic priest, otherwise the MMPI will say that he's a raving schizophrenic looney?

Alluded to at http://www.catholic.net/rcc/Periodicals/Homiletic/01-97/6/6.html , and I have heard it stated multiple times, more bluntly, that there are separate MMPI scales for the clergy. If the MMPI is a valid tool, it should not need separate scales. On the other hand, a few hours with Google has turned up nothing except the assertion. Can anyone here give further information?
