- The MMPI is used in aiding the dianosis of transsexuals.
- A friend of mine (biologically male trassexual) and scored 80 on the female
- scale. A typical non-transexual biological woman scores 70.
-
- In "Transvestites and Transsexuals" by Dr. Doctor (Yes, that is his name!)
- has the scores of several transvestites and transsexuals on the MMPI.
-
- Also see "Insearch of Eve" by Ann Bolin(sp?) for more such information.
