Abstract

This study aimed to compare the response behaviour of male and female on the second edition of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, and to draw faking good and bad profiles for them.
The researchers applied the MMPI-2 on 850 subjects; their age ranged from 17-30 years old, which chosen randomly from Al-Balqa' Applied Universities' different colleges.
After using the equation of faking good and bad, the sample consisted of 160 subjects, /61/ males and/ 99/ females; they were chosen deliberately from 850 subjects.
The authors used mean and standard deviation to draw faking good and bad profiles for male and female separately.
The study has achieved number of results which are summarized into the following points:
1- The reason behind of students' faking good might be their choice of the option 'false' for most test.
2- The reason behind of students' faking bad might be their choice of the option 'true' for most test.
3- Similarity exists between the profiles' forms of faking good for males and females separately and the other studies which applied a close studies to the current one.
4- Similarity exists between the profiles' forms of faking bad for males and females separately and the other studies which applied a close studies to the current one.
Current research recommendations for future research are provided.
