MMPI2 Faking to Look Good mmpiinfo
Originally, the MMPI was used to diagnose psychiatric inpatients. Today, the MMPI2 is largely used on nonpatient populations who are motivated to under report psychopathology. They wish to get or keep a position, or have use of a lethal weapon, have a favorable custody decision, adopt a child, have a medical procedure, etc. It would be understandable for them to "fake to look good."
