Bush's MMPI-2 Personality Test Results:
Edited on Thu Sep-23-04 05:11 PM by Jackpine Radical
An anonymous source (actually I believe it to be one of my alter ego states) has revealed Bush's MMPI-2 profile as 2-4-9, high MacAndrew.

The MMPI-2 is read largely in terms of patterns of score elevations.

The2-4-9 (elevations on Depression, Psychopathic Deviate & Hypomania) type can be read as a combination of 2-9, 2-4 and 4-9 types:

People with a 2-9 code type are "self-centered and narcissistic, and tend to ruminate a great deal about their self-worth. They are likely to express concern about achieving at a high level but appear to set themselves up for failure. They show little respect for social standards and values, and tend to act out, perhaps by excessive drinking.
...
A pattern of denial may cover feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness....Alternating periods of increased activity and fatigue are possible. This profile is sometimes found among brain-damaged patients who have lost control or who are trying to cope with deficits through excessive activity. Many individuals with this profile use alcohol as an escape from stress and pressure.

2-4 type: Individuals with this code type may appear sociable and outgoing, and may make a favorable first impression. They tend to manipulate others and...cause resentment in long-term relationships.

4-9 type: ...exhibit antisocial behavior, have poorly developed consciences, demonstrate loose morals and fluctuating ethical values....They show poor judgment and may act without considering the consequences of their actions. They seemingly fail to learn from punishing experiences. They typically manifest low frustration tolerance, moodiness, irritability, and a caustic manner.

Passages above are from Butcher & Williams (1992) Essentials of MMPI-2 and MMPI-A Interpretation

The high MacdAndrew (Mac) scale indicates a high susceptibility to addictions.

1. For Bush, there never have been any consequences....
Since Poppy, his shady Arab pals, and the ex-CIA thugs could fix everything.
