Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Perhaps realizing that discussing the topic in the hallway was not appropriate, even though it was lunch break, there were still scattered patients in the main hall.

The familiar senior led Nan Zhubin into an empty office while speaking, excitedly adding, "I heard there were some issues with the conviction of this prisoner, which is why he was sent here for psychological testing, to serve as a basis for sentencing!"

Nan Zhubin nodded thoughtfully. That seemed reasonable.

However, in the morning, he was wholly focused on evaluation and did not pay attention to these external details.

The familiar senior glanced outside the office door, confirmed there was no one eavesdropping, and turned back eagerly, "Zhuren, what was the situation with the prisoner this morning - Antisocial Personality Disorder? Emotional Disorder? Impulse Control Disorder? Schizophrenia? Or something else?"

While speaking, he counted with his fingers, as if listing menu items, spouting terminologies.

Nan Zhubin pondered, "First of all... if there’s no conviction, doesn’t that mean they’re just a ’suspect’?"

In terms of professionalism, Nan Zhubin had some understanding.

"Secondly, if you are genuinely curious, doesn’t the system allow you to check his evaluation results yourself?"

The familiar senior rubbed his hands, "I know, but aren’t you able to communicate with him directly? You’d have more intuitive impressions, wouldn’t you?"

Compared to cold data, information obtained by consultants through personal observation can sometimes be more significant, especially when the consultant is experienced and professionally solid, making it more worthy of learning.

For those eager to learn, Nan Zhubin was not the type to withhold knowledge.

After pouring a cup of water in the office to slightly alleviate his state, Nan Zhubin said, "The situations you mentioned didn’t appear... or rather, none of those were tested. I didn’t spend time exploring beyond the evaluation."

"Ah?" The familiar senior stunned for a moment.

Nan Zhubin nodded, "In the morning, only three validity scales were administered."

The familiar senior was taken aback once more and, after hearing Nan Zhubin listing the three tests conducted on the orange vest, fell into contemplation.

"This sounds..." He appeared thoughtful.

Nan Zhubin nodded, "An exploration of the person’s intelligence level to verify their criminal responsibility capability, probably."

After all, administering two intelligence tests consecutively, the investigation into intelligence levels was rather thorough.

As for the final MMPI-2, it seemed more of an additional step. Perhaps it would have reference value for future assessments of the prisoner, but for this testing it wasn’t the primary goal.

"So what were the results?" The familiar senior pursued further.

Nan Zhubin didn’t conceal, "A Wechsler Full Scale IQ of sixty-eight."

The familiar senior blinked.

"Sixty... eight?" He confirmed.

Nan Zhubin nodded.

In the normative data for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, seventy is the clinical cut-off for intellectual deficiency; below this figure, it falls under the category of intellectual developmental delay from any dimension.

"Correct. And the verbal IQ was even lower, sixty-five. Performance IQ was seventy-two."

Nan Zhubin added, "The verbal part is practically collapsed. Abstract reasoning, logical deduction, semantic understanding, all severely low."

In other words.

"This person can converse about daily matters, understand simple instructions, but struggles with any abstract concepts. He cannot derive one concept from another, nor can he discern taxonomic connections between two things. All of his cognition is anchored in concrete experiences - things he’s eaten, touched, been beaten - surviving solely on these."

This was Nan Zhubin’s judgment derived through the Wechsler Intelligence Test.

"As for Raven, the score was even worse."

"Effective response to fifty-nine items, with an accuracy rate of thirty-two percent," Nan Zhubin said, "falling into the third percentile in normative data."

The familiar senior blinked again. In psychological measurement basics, the third percentile - he definitely understood.

This means the orange vest ranks third last among a hundred peers. At such a level of fluid intelligence, spatial judgment, logical recognition, and pattern extraction in daily life are essentially semi-paralyzed.

Finally, Nan Zhubin spoke about the result of the orange vest’s MMPI-2 test.

"Indeed, the MMPI was completed entirely, taking more than two hours of my time. All Validity Scales fell within the trusted range, L, F, and K scores are all normal."

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is one of the world’s most widely applied and deeply researched personality evaluation tools. Over five hundred questions can generally explore the subject’s personality dimensions thoroughly.

Each dimension is marked with an English letter abbreviation.

In addition to targeting psychiatric clinical dimensions such as Hypochondriasis (Hs), Depression (D), Paranoid (Pa), etc., there are also dimensions specifically checking the validity of measurements - to see if the subject is lying or answering haphazardly.

These include [Lie (L)], detecting if the subject is trying to ’appear good,’ denying small flaws shared by all;

[Infrequency (F)], made up of items few normal people would agree with, which are bizarre or severe pathological symptoms, with high scores possibly indicating ’faking bad’ or ’cry for help’;

[Correction (K)], measuring defensiveness and the tendency to conceal psychological issues, with overly high scores potentially suppressing clinical scale scores.

Besides, there are dimensions to identify random or contradictory responses, invalid questionnaires, and to detect if the subject exhibited new arbitrary or false answering patterns in the latter part of the test, etc.
