Validity Text
142.86 One or more validity scales (see MID Diagnostic Graph) are elevated. This rarely indicates an invalid MID.
Elevated validity scales usually mean that clinically meaningful personality traits or response sets are present
They must be investigated via (1) reading the section on Validity Scales in the Mini-Manual, and (2) a follow-u
interview about pertinent validity items (see The Extended MID Report).

This person's validity scores are within acceptable limits. Nevertheless, one or more validity scales are
subclinically elevated. It is appropriate to take such subclinical elevations into consideration when interpreting
the test-taker's MID scores and his/her MID Diagnostic Impression.
This person's validity scores are well within acceptable limits.

Mean MID Score Interpretation


0 A MID Score of 0-7: Nondissociative
(unless denial is present). If the MID
score is 4 or lower, check to see if the
Defensiveness Scale is elevated.
8 A MID Score of 8-14: This level of
dissociation is common in therapy
patients who do not have a dissociative
disorder. A few, diagnostically irrelevant,
dissociative experiences may be present.

15 A MID Score of 15-20: PTSD may be


present if the Flashbacks,
Depersonalization, and Derealization
scales are elevated.
21 A MID Score of 21-30: Many cases of
PTSD and some cases of DDNOS-1 and
DID fall within this range.

31 A MID Score of 31-40: Many cases of


PTSD, DDNOS-1 and DID fall within this
range.

41 A MID Score of 41-64: Some cases of


PTSD, many cases of DID, and some
problematic borderlines fall within this
range.
65 A MID Score of 65 or higher: Some cases
of PTSD and DID, and many cases of
especially severe BPD fall within this
range. MID scores in this range require a
close examiniation of the validity scales
and a very careful follow-up interview. .
