Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A high score on the Psychopathic Deviate scale on the MMPI-2 is indicative of traits associated with antisocial personality disorder, including impulsivity, disregard for social norms and rules, and a lack of empathy or remorse for one's actions. This scale does not specifically assess for other disorders such as major depressive disorder, borderline personality disorder, or specific phobias.
