Psychopathic Personality Inventory - read the first post for the questions and where to get the scoring key
The scoring key says "NOTE: Underlined items are reversed in scoring." I don't know what that means. Those scores are subtracted instead of added?
No, it just means the score is reversed. For example: If I marked a statement as a 4 when doing the test, then I have to change it to a 1 when reverse scoring, because 1 is the opposite of 4, or if I marked it as 3 instead, then I have to change it to 2 because 2 is the opposite of 3. It's basically just reversing the numbers.
I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of reverse scoring is. Maybe it just presents a more accurate result.
