trial day 33: the defense continues its case in chief #94

[LotusPawprint]

Of course she would score a 69 on a test...

 

[KarmicLaw]

YES!! We will get to discover the computer output of the MMPI! Computer scores are far more reliable than a purchased interpretation of the raw data. Although both can be used, if a practitioner doesn't have a sound argument for the deviation of their opinion from the computer score, it is going to be ignored. JM is going to perform a virtual body slam on this guy. Hahahahahaha 69!

 

[Mrs G Norris]

Antisocial: 64

I hope someone got a screen grab.

 

[SheltieMom1]

69, how ironic that was her score...

 

[Chester_from_THM]

Ms. Arias just can't get away from the '69'

 

[JSR]

I wonder if JM ever sleeps. He is so well prepared on every issue. He's doing this trial on his own (I guess he might possibly have legal staff assisting him behind the scenes, but I don't know this for a fact). He is awe inspiring to me. I love this man!!!!

Its doubtful. Most trials= no sleep. The last 2 trials I went to I got an average of 3 hours of sleep a night. Trials are not for the faint of heart.

[Southern_Meadow]

Samuels better check himself. Juan will give it back ten-fold.

 

[chicoliving]

[JSR]

I hope someone got a screen grab.

Me too. There were other categories such as narcissism.

Scoring system

Patients' raw scores are converted to Base Rate (BR) scores to allow comparison between the personality indices. The Base Rate scores are essentially where each score fits on a scale of 1-115, with 60 being the median score. Conversion to a Base Rate score is relatively complex, and there are certain corrections that are administered based on each patient's response style.
The Modifying indices are scored using a complex system in which the patient's responses in the other scales are compared and the raw and BR scores are taken from this. However, the Invalidity index is an exception to this and is not converted to a BR score.
[edit]Interpretation

Test results may be considered invalid based on a number of different response patterns on the modifying indices. The Disclosure scale is the only scale in the MCMI-III in which the raw scores are interpreted and in which a particularly low score is clinically relevant. A raw score above 178 or below 34 is considered to not be an accurate representation of the patient's personality style as they either over-or under-disclosed and may indicate questionable results.
The Invalidity Index is a measure of random responding, ability to understand item content, appropriate attention to item content, and as an additional measure of response style. The scale is very sensitive to random responding. Scores on this scale determine whether the test protocol is valid or invalid. A base rate score of 75 or greater on the Desirability or Debasement scales indicate that the examiner should proceed with caution.

For the Personality and Clinical Syndrome scales, base rate scores of 75-84 are taken to indicate the presence of a personality trait, or (for the Clinical Syndromes scales) the presence of a clinical syndrome. Scores of 85 or above indicate the persistence of a personality trait or a clinical syndrome.

[Weebles]

they threw the number 75 in because it does nto mean anything :floorlaugh:

 

[leebee52]

I believe JM...even though I'm totally lost in the numbers.

 

[AngelWings444]

WOAH!!! This "doctor" is ticked off. He is SO rude to Mr. Martinez! Wow.

 

[Boytwnmom]

in the closet? He grabbed her sweater in the closet and she grabbed the gun and shot him...so where did it happen? Doesn't sound like there was time to get into the bathroom. Must be earlier version 1.0 before she slammed the door closed and leapt up to get the gun and ran back to bathroom...

So Jodi apparently told the doc that Travis was grabbing at her before she got the gun - but she testified that Travis was grabbing at her after she shot him when she was on the stand.
