A psychotic person would probably score the highest on which MMPI-2 scale ?
Answer: C
On the MMPI-2 the clinical scale which is related to psychotic thinking is Schizophrenia (Sc), and psychotic persons are likely to have their highest score on it. Depression, Hysteria and Mania are neurotic or affective scales: they measure depressive symptoms, conversion symptoms and overactivity. The scale was built by contrasting the answers of clinical groups with those of normal people, and the Sc scale picks up odd thoughts, social alienation and unusual beliefs, which are typical of psychotic disorders. The answer is schizophrenia.
