The results of this study indicate that the MMPI-2 appears to be an instrument that can provide useful information to professionals working with adults demonstrating specific learning disabilities. In addition, the results documented that the MMPI-2 personality profile of individuals with learning disabilities significantly differ from the normative population or normally-achieving college students. The population with learning disabilities demonstrated profiles indicative of individuals under extreme short and long term stress. Feelings of social isolation, poor self-concept, self-doubt and extreme restlessness were also characteristic of this population.
