MMPI-2 scores approximating 100 or greater suggest an invalid profile. This might have been caused by clerical errors in scoring, random responding, false claims by the client regarding symptoms, or distortions caused by a respondent's confused and delusional thinking. In rare cases where psychiatric scores of 100 do reflect a valid assessment, it indicates hallucinations, delusions of reference, poor judgment, and/or extreme withdrawal. Because of the variations in scores between normals and psychiatric patients, different recommend at ions for indicating an invalid profile have been provided for each of these groups. For normal adult populations faking bad, an MMPI-2 raw cut-off score of 18 (male T = 95; female T = 99) is recommended , whereas for psychiatric patients faking bad. a higher raw cutoff score of 29 (T = 120) is reconunended for ma les and 27 (T= 119) for females (J. Graham et al., 1991). Optimal cutoff scores for the MMPI-A are T = 79+ (R. Baer et al., 1999).
