Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice to develop a scale within the MMPI to distinguish potential professional wrestlers from those without the potential to be wrestlers would be to identify items that distinguish pro wrestlers from non-wrestlers. Option A is not relevant as the MMPI questions are not related to wrestling. Option C is not appropriate as it would only provide information about how wrestlers view themselves but not how they differ from non-wrestlers. Option D may be used in conjunction with choosing items that distinguish wrestlers from non-wrestlers but is not the primary method.
