Psychological Evaluations

I spent a bit of time today contacting psychologists in Albuquerque, and Santa Fe. I spoke with one who was very knowledgeable and spent a good deal of time discussing the new MMPI-2RF tests that level 3 security guards are required to take.
She stated amongst other things, that the MMPI-2RF is a psychological test that determines an individual’s ability to make good decisions, their ability to control their impulses, and paints a general picture of their overall mental health. She stated that most mentally stable people should have no problem passing this evaluation.
She did offer one tip. Be completely honest. The test is also designed to pick up if you’re lying or “faking good”, and that if your test results show that you’re lying the results will be invalid and you will have to re-take the test.
She was very clear about the test, what to expect, and how long the whole process takes (about a week). She did discuss cost, however you should contact her yourself as it may vary.
She was very professional, and we look forward to working with her.
I’d like to give her name and contact information to perhaps save some of you out there the headache of calling multiple psychologists.
