They remind me that Jesus came down from Heaven & sacrificed so much for us so I don't need to consider it odd when I want to do likewise or when I see that same behavior modeled in others.If you like tricky games, riddles or brain games then brain test 2 with tricky tests is a great exercise for you brain.īrain test 2. But I've kept in touch with many of those friends to this day & that statement still largely holds up. I realize now that not everyone - in fact not even most people - is so generous with their time, money & energy. And I had plenty of friends who had no problem just giving things away to people in need (including me a few times). Would pick up an extra shift at work to help a friend make rent. I regularly would drive way out of my way to get someone a ride. At the time that was not only true of myself, but I was surrounded by really wonderful people and genuinely could say from my experience that at lot of my friends & even many of my acquaintances would drop anything to help someone in need. But seriously, apparently part of what let them to that conclusion was that I put down that people will generally help you if they can - even if it's not necessarily in their own self-interest to do so. I'm not sure how those two statements are even congruent, but then again I don't like to go to the movies when I'm invisible so we already know how messed up I am. And by the way, I'm not just a sociopath, but apparently a "deeply religious" one. I suppose that's why I tested as a sociopath on this test. Yeah, my gut instinct to that question was no because I assumed it was asking a preference question - similar to the "do you like mechanics magazines". So when you answer questions about yourself, attempting to reveal yourself as mostly honest, trustworthy etc, but you view everyone else as dishonesty untrustworthy etc you are confessing an inconsistency and it triggers points on the lie scale as a result. People have a tendency to think that everyone else thinks like they do etc. If you view people as mostly being dishonest, this is because you are dishonest, and you project how you are onto others etc. The MMPI asks a lot of questions like."people are generally honest" in which how you answer really indicates how you view yourself. What determines if it is a lie or not is based upon how you answered the other questions related to how you would act. The question about whether or not you could be invisible is not an automatic lie if you select never. The MMPI scales generally have 25-70 items. The claim that a single response means anything is inaccurate. Wow Jason, excellent explanation of the how the test works. Joanna from Wilseyville on August 15, 2014: Anyways, I'm going into too much detail but basically the test said I was lying but since I wasn't lying, I'm really a psycho. I go to counseling for depression and a big problem in my life is feeling so different compared to others which I know is common with depression. Not once was I lying so I continued to look what my answers meant besides over reporting sympoms and I'm pretty sure I'm just "divergent" again, for a lack of a better word.
I went home immediately and found the test online and proceeded to answer the questions the same way so I could see for myself. I questioned her until she finally spit out in plain english what that meant. When I took the test, my psychologist said because of the vlaidity score, the results weren't valid. I answered every single question honestly and my validitaty score was way off based to over reporting meaning I reported more problems than people with severe mental health problems including the worst of the worst like sociopaths. To this day I am very frightened by this test, for lack of a better word. To me it's like flipping a coin to see if someone can get a job or not. Answering a question saying you wouldn't do something wrong if you knew you wouldn't get caught isn't lying if you honestly wouldn't. The whole thing seems very subjective, generalized and ridiculous to me. Once passing, once being screened for secondary interview, and once passing. By the end, I wasn't even reading the whole question. I took this test once and did pass but my god was it boring and half way through my only thought was just answering the questions as fast as I could to get it over with.
