[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2480666, member: 24446"] Yes, I did take the MMPI when I became a police officer and I remember it well. It's one heck of an "exam" but it was designed to be that way so that it breaks through our normal "canned" answers to questions. It's actually amazing what they learn from the test, I'm not sure what you did but after the test was "graded" we also did a one on one with a psychiatrist. When I was done I asked about the test and he explained a lot of it which was quite fascinating. I personally know four officers who took the MMPI and answered how they thought they were supposed to answer instead of being honest and were required to retest, in two cases retest twice, because they attempted to lie their way through. Why? because a lot of the questions are so personal it makes people very uncomfortable answering truthfully but the test is designed to catch you lying and it's pretty good at it. I also have worked as a bounty hunter and have met several other bounty hunters that were worse than any of the people they were going after...there definitely needs to be some kind of change.
