The MMPI-2 questionnaire is one of the key methods used for detection of significant personality features and mental disorders. It is a complex questionnaire and its interpretation includes two parts, quantitative and qualitative one. The crucial part of the quantitative interpretation is determination of a code type of the given protocol. In our article, we introduce a mathematical model for determination of protocol's code type, which, in addition to clinical scales, takes into consideration results of the other scales according to the original interpretation manual for MMPI-2. The model is based on a linguistically defined base of rules. By using the base of rules, the model is also able to detect prototypic protocols which correspond to the administered protocol the best.
