This scale is a clinical scale of MMPI, which is used to evaluate the attention of individuals in health and physical symptoms and the possible tendency of mental weakness.
The Hs scale contains 32 items, which are used to measure personal concern and expression of health problems. These projects cover individuals' perception of their own physiological symptoms, their response to physical discomfort and their concern for health problems.
When taking MMPI test, individuals need to answer a series of questions related to their health and symptoms, such as whether they feel tired, headache or chest tightness. The answers to these questions will be used to calculate the personal score on the Hs scale.
The rating range of Hs scale is usually from 0 to 100. A high score indicates that individuals pay more attention to health problems, and there may be a tendency of excessive worry and health anxiety. On the contrary, a low score may indicate that individuals are not too concerned about or ignore physical health problems.
It should be emphasized that MMPI is a professional psychological assessment tool, which is only interpreted and used by specially trained and qualified psychological professionals. They will comprehensively consider the scores of the scale, the results of other scales and personal background information to make a comprehensive evaluation. Therefore, if you have further interest or demand for MMPI or its scale, it is recommended to consult and seek the guidance and help of experienced psychological professionals.
