In Reply To: I am curious about how specific the life-style questions are. I have heard differing opinions. Specifically I am wondering about sexually related questions. I am a rather private individual and do not enjoy nor wish to discuss such private matters with a stranger. I understand they will ask some questions of complete relavince but how "personal" do these questions get?
Message: I think you can expect them to press your buttons to a degree. The MMPI-2 itself can be pretty uncomfortable, and I imagine the follow-up questions are even more so. They need to assess how much your personality deviates from the norms, and whether those deviations make you a security risk. So for example, what unusual sexual practices have you engaged in? What would you be willing to do to prevent that information from getting out?
