β¦ Synopsis
Counselors who assess persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventoryβ2 (MMPIβ2; T. N. Butcher, W. G. Dahlstrom, J. R. Graham, A. Tellegen, & B. Kaemmer, 1989) may find scale elevations on Scales 1, 2, 3, and 8. These elevations may be due, at least in part, to specific questions on the MMPIβ2 that assess physiological or neurological symptoms that are common in MS. Researchers have identified specific questions that have overlap between psychological and physiological symptoms and created neurocorrections that can be used, along with a thorough clinical interview, to more accurately assess persons with MS.
