Some with high K scores is unlikely to have significant elevations in L scale. K is more a measure of defensiveness. Because defensiveness may suppress clinical scales,  

a K correction is added to 5 of the clinical scales (1, 4, 7, 8, 9) to compensate for this defensiveness.  

2) H K ( T=65 or 70)

3) Describes self in an overly favorable light, denying difficulties
