An important consideration regarding Scale 5 is that it is not an actual clinical scale in the same sense as most of the other scales. It does not actually assess any pathological syndromes and thus does not provide clinical information. However, it can be useful in providing color or tone to the other scales. This means interpretations should first be made of the other scales and then the meaning of the relative score on Scale 5 should be taken into consideration. For example, an elevation on Scale 4 (Pd) would indicate that the person is impulsive, might act out under stress, and feels alienated from his or her self or society. If the person scoring a high 5 is a male and also scores low on Scale 4, he would be likely to express his dissatisfaction through action, have low insight into his behavior, and place emphasis on physical strength. In contrast, a high scale on 4 accompanied by an elevated 5 suggests that the person will be more introspective, sensitive, articulate, and may channel his or her antisocial feelings toward creating social change. However, in deciding what should be considered to be a high or low 5, the person's level of education and socio economic status should always be considered.
