Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described are consistent with schizophrenia, which is assessed by the schizophrenia scale of the MMPI. The paranoia and psychopathic-deviate scales may also be elevated in individuals with schizophrenia, but C is the most accurate choice. The psychasthenia scale measures anxiety and obsessive-compulsive features and would not be as relevant.
