Pain Validity Test versus MMPI

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

The Pain Validity Test, developed by a team of doctors from Johns Hopkins Hospital, was able to predict which patient would have moderate or severe abnormalities of objective medical tests with 91% accuracy, and who would not with 100% accuracy. The MMPI had no predicitive capabilities, and should not be used to determine if a patient is faking or malingering. The Pain Validity Test is available for physicians, attorneys, and insurance carriers, at www.MarylandClinicalDiagnostics.com
