DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES CONSUMER FRAUD ALERT!
February 4, 2011
As if you did not already have enough to worry about, a new type of deceptive trade practices consumer fraud has been documented. Organized crime elements operating in the child protection, mental health, and social work systems are exploiting design flaws in psychological testing that produces false positives for anyone administered one of the defective tests.
In the 1930s and 1940s when the psychological testing protocols causing the problems were developed, the false belief that all living persons had physiological disorders causing psychological disorders was almost universal among Freudian mental health practitioners. If everyone had psychological disorders, there was no need to construct diagnostic test scoring protocols that allowed for the possibility that the person tested had no psychological disorders.
The resulting “diagnostic tests” were never intended to nor designed to determine that the person tested DID NOT have psychological disorders. They were only designed to CONFIRM which psychological disorders afflicted the person administered the test. Therefore, no set of responses exist for the items on these defective “diagnostic” tests that would be interpreted as indicating the tested individual has no psychological disorders. To put it in simple English, such tests are rigged to produce false positive results that you have psychological disorders.
The psychological tests afflicted with the resulting design flaws are scored using sets of psychological disorder scales. Scores on each of the disorder scales are incremented by the “True” or “False” response to each item on the test. For your responses to be interpreted as indicating you have no psychological disorders, your score on all the disorder scales would have to be zero.
The fundamental testing protocol design flaw is that the defective tests do not allow you to score zero on all the disorder scales. Remember, these were designed when it was falsely believed there was no possibility that you have no psychological disorders. The design flaws are that selecting either “True” or “False” to a specific item will increment your score on a disorder scale and that on some items your score will be incremented on multiple disorder scales.
The following example demonstrates the design flaws documented in the Science Fraud Section (p. 123) of the Congressional Evidence Book Compendium of Documentation of Organized Crime Methods and Procedures Integrated into State and Federal Agencies for the Purpose of Political and Economic Exploitation of Children and Families Through State and Federal Child Protection, Mental Health, and Social Work Systems.
(Page 148-150, Compendium)
To demonstrate how all these fatal flaws interact, the following three-item test and sample interpretive structure incorporate all the pseudoscience, pseudologic, and patterns of questionable statistical associations incorporated in the MMPI-2.
1. I am right-handed.
TRUE FALSE
Spouse Abuse Potential Deviant Life Style
Child Abuse Potential Stress Scale
Ego Strength Work Problems Scale
Committed Child Abuse Anxiety Scale
Committed Spouse Abuse
2. I am left-handed.
TRUE FALSE
Spouse Abuse Potential Ego Strength
Child Abuse Potential
Deviant Life Style
Work Problems Scale
Stress Scale
Committed Child Abuse
Committed Spouse Abuse
Anxiety Scale
3. I am breathing.
TRUE FALSE
Spouse Abuse Potential Health Concerns
Child Abuse Potential Lying Scale
Committed Child Abuse Acute Anxiety
Committed Spouse Abuse
Deviant Life Style
Work Problems
Stress Scale
Ego Strength
Anxiety Scale
Inconsistency/Deception Scale
1. I am right-handed. TRUE
2. I am left-handed. TRUE
1. I am right-handed. FALSE
2. I am left-handed. FALSE
[Responding TRUE to both items or FALSE to both items would score one
point on the Inconsistency/Deception Scale. This sounds reasonable until
one considers how special populations could respond. An ambidextrous
individual could honestly answer TRUE or FALSE to both questions.
Persons without limbs, by accident or birth defect, could answer FALSE to
both questions.]
A person answering TRUE to item one would be "diagnosed" as follows:
Respondent's answers indicate past acts of both child abuse
and spouse abuse. Potential to engage in child abuse and
spouse abuse is indicated, as are ego strength problems.
For complete documentation of how these design flaws are integrated into the interpretive structure of the MMPI-2 and into the organized crime problem, access the entire Congressional Evidence book Compendium of Documentation of Organized Crime Methods and Procedures Integrated into State and Federal Agencies for the Purpose of Political and Economic Exploitation of Children and Families Through State and Federal Child Protection, Mental Health, and Social Work Systems at either of the two following web sites:

Anyone who has been administered a purported “psychological diagnostic test,” such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Test 2 (MMPI-2), using this defective interpretive and scoring methodology originally developed in the 1930s or 1940s should file a Deceptive Trade Practices Consumer Fraud complaint with the Consumer Protection Division of your State Attorney General’s Office.
If you have not been administered one of these defective psychological disorder diagnostic tests or are not certain if you have been administered a defective test, you should contact your State Attorney General and request that the Consumer Fraud Division investigate the psychological testing services in your State to identify and remove these defective “diagnostic” tests. If the “diagnostic test” does not include the possibility that you have no psychological disorders it is NOT a true diagnostic test.
It is important that you contact the Consumer Protection Division of your State Attorney General’s Office and file a complaint or request the problem be investigated to ensure that you, your family, and the other citizens of your State do not become victims of the child protection, mental health, and social work systems organized crime elements exploiting the false positives produced by these defective tests. It is vital to public interest that these defective purported “mental health diagnostic tests” are identified and taken off the market to prevent their further exploitation by organized crime elements for multiple criminal purposes in the child protection, mental health, and social work systems.
