U MC Basic Interpretive' R.eport PlusGlobal Factors

For each profile below, several 16 primary scales combine to determine the global factorscore. Sometimes a low score on a primary scale contributes to a high score on a global

factor, and vice-versa. Occasionally, a primary scale score does not fall in the directionexpected, based upon the overall global factor score. These unusual factor combinations orconflicting scores can be revealing; it may be useful to explore the ways in which the test-taker's behavior reflects such combinations.
