Default more psych evals.....

Hello,
It was brought to my attention by the FAA Medical that I did not pass the computerized MMPI. I don't considered myself to be "crazy" but they said that I would need to take 2 more tests that the ATO would pay for. Any ideas on what may I be in store for?

My undergraduate degree is in psychology and this is the first I've ever heard of the MMPI used in a pass/fail manner.

Somehow I doubt the instrument's authors intended its use in this way.

I actually went thru three during the selection process at my company. Not bad at all, just be honest and don't try to out think the exam!
