Are the MMPI subtle subscales subtle measures of their scales?

Abstract: This study investigated the ability of the MMPI Wiener-Harmon subtle subscales (on scales D, Hy, Pd, Pa, and Ma) to serve as subtle or unobtrusive measures of their scales. Forty outpatients completed the MMPI under standard instructions, followed by a fake-good or fake-bad instructional set. First, we investigated the paradoxical effect found in the MMPI faking literature (in which, overall, the subtle subscale T-scores change in a direction opposite of the faking instructions) and found that not every subtle… Show more

As the Hy-O Scale omits these ''subtle'' items, this scale was included as it may more closely approximate the core construct of the Hy scale.…”
