All you need to do to get a desired result in your mmpi-2 test is to read this thing. Although 2nd edition is a bit outdated by modern standards, fundamentally the test hasn't changed much since then, and neither did the diagnostic methods. At any rate, I was able to get desired result on my mmpi test with the help of this manual, tho I guess I had additional advantage of having done mmpi in the past as well.

The instruction is well written, the test is utter bullshit, so 3/5 from me.

The best book on the MMPI-2 since Grahm (sp?).
