How to read MMPI-2 welsh code profile?

I got a psychologist report which says mmpi-2 welsh code profile and validity scales are like this....

L'+F-K

can someone explain what does this mean?

also psychologist said he will not provide raw score date of this test...may I know if I have legal right to get those scores?

I'm not any kind of professional! This is just from my own reading around and may be wrong.

I think the L'+F-K is a way of validating the answers. Depending on the numbers that L, F and K represent, that gives some indication of whether you are under or over reporting symptoms. And of how you feel about those issues. It isn't a diagnosis in itself.

Legal rights to the raw score data are likely to vary by country and state. If there's a Citizens Advice Bureau near you. Or similar. Or a Mental Health Support Line. They would be the best people to contact about that. Because they'll be familiar with the relevant law.

I would add that knowing the raw scores might not be useful to you. As I understand it, dozens of individual scores overlap. And combine in different ways. To suggest different diagnoses. They don't, again as I understand it, say "You Have X."


Edited to add- there's some more information about the Welch code here. This also shows why I don't think raw data would be very useful. http://www.neurographica.org/welch.html L' I think means a score of 70 – 79 for L. And -K could be 60-69. But I have no idea about anything else.

Thanks...what is the meaning of + before F or - sign before K?
Does L scale 70-79 score means --- I am lying?

I think the - sign could mean the range is 60-69. I don't know about the +.

I don't know. As I said, I'm not a professional. Without meaning to be rude, you probably know already if that might be a fair score on that front. If you were deliberately trying to swing any of the answers.

If you were straight with the psych then. Maybe it relates to not understanding all the questions. Maybe it relates to the symptoms you were reporting. Or something else entirely. That's what I mean about it not being easy to interpret. There's no way to say a particular number means a particular thing.

Honestly I did not like psychologist neither I liked the fact that my personality is tested by these type of questions...English is not my first language and I am from Asian culture so to assess personality based on these scores is stupidity for me but my attorney wanted me to go to this psychologist so very reluctantly I went to this psychologist...so I was not careful what am answering ...you know when you are mad/irritated ..you just dont care on what you say/write
