| minnesota multiphasic personality inventory test online: Forensic Uses of Clinical Assessment Instruments Robert P. Archer, Elizabeth M. A. Wheeler, 2013-04-26 This book provides, in a single volume, an extensive, research-based evaluation of the most popular clinical assessment tools as applied in forensic settings. These widely used instruments often require important modifications in their administration and interpretation when used for forensic purposes, and it is vital that the clinician is intimately familiar with their correct application, as well as their limitations. The test instruments included are analyzed by senior figures in the field of psychological assessment who are uniquely qualified to discuss them because they have either had a crucial role in the development of the tests, or they have dedicated their careers to advancing our understanding of these clinical assessment measures. Each chapter begins with a summary of the development of the assessment instrument in its more traditional applications in clinical settings, and then considers its utilization in forensic settings. The types of forensic issues which have been addressed with that instrument are reviewed, and an illustrative case example is given which reflects the types of uses and limitations of the assessment technique when applied in a forensic context. New in this edition are a chapter on the MMPI-2-RF and separate chapters for the adult and youth versions of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist. Psychologists using assessment instruments in applied forensic settings will find this to be a valuable and practical source of information, as will attorneys wishing to gain an understanding of the application of these psychological assessment approaches in the courtroom. |

| minnesota multiphasic personality inventory test online: The Cult of Personality Testing Annie Murphy Paul, 2010-06-15 Award-winning psychology writer Annie Paul delivers a scathing exposé on the history and effects of personality tests. Millions of people worldwide take personality tests each year to direct their education, to decide on a career, to determine if they'll be hired, to join the armed forces, and to settle legal disputes. Yet, according to award-winning psychology writer Annie Murphy Paul, the sheer number of tests administered obscures a simple fact: they don't work. Most personality tests are seriously flawed, and sometimes unequivocally wrong. They fail the field's own standards of validity and reliability. They ask intrusive questions. They produce descriptions of people that are nothing like human beings as they actually are: complicated, contradictory, changeable across time and place. The Cult Of Personality Testing documents, for the first time, the disturbing consequences of these tests. Children are being labeled in limiting ways. Businesses and the government are wasting hundreds of millions of dollars every year, only to make ill-informed decisions about hiring and firing. Job seekers are having their privacy invaded and their rights trampled, and our judicial system is being undermined by faulty evidence. Paul's eye-opening chronicle reveals the fascinating history behind a lucrative and largely unregulated business. Captivating, insightful, and sometimes shocking, The Cult Of Personality Testing offers an exhilarating trip into the human mind and heart. |

| minnesota multiphasic personality inventory test online: Handbook of Psychological Assessment Gerald Goldstein, Michel Hersen, 2000-02-16 The field of psychological assessment has been undergoing rapid change. The second edition of this Handbook, published in 1990, appeared at the beginning of a decade marked by extensive advances in assessment in essentially all of its specialized areas. There are many new tests, new applications of established tests, and new test systems. Major revisions have appeared of established tests, notably the Wechsler intelligence scales. The time seemed right for a third edition, since even over the relatively brief period of ten years, many tests described in the second edition have been replaced, and are no longer commonly used. Furthermore, much new research in such areas as neuropsychology, cognitive science, and psychopathology have made major impacts on how many tests and other assessment procedures are used and interpreted. This third edition represents an effort to give the reader an overview of the many new developments in assessment, while still maintaining material on basic psychometric concepts in order for it to continue to serve as a comprehensive handbook for the student and professional. |

| minnesota multiphasic personality inventory test online: Enneagram Theology Rhenn Cherry, 2021-08-16 The enneagram has become popular among evangelical Christians as a spiritualized personality typology that claims to help people better understand themselves and others. Several influential evangelical Christian leadership ministries have promoted the enneagram as a tool in forming and maintaining effective ministry teams, and the personality typology is now taught and embraced at several Christian universities. But uncertainty exists about the appropriateness of referring to the Enneagram as a Christian tool. Are pastors and Christian institutional leaders aware of the theology associated with the Enneagram? Enneagram Theology: Is It Christian? provides a biblical critique of the Enneagram's underlying theology and exposes not only its foundational theological contradictions with orthodox evangelical theology but also some potential dangers to the church. |

| minnesota multiphasic personality inventory test online: Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures Barbara A. Dworetzky, Gaston Baslet, 2017 Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are attacks that mimic epileptic seizures, but are not caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain. Instead, PNES are typically considered involuntary expressions of distress, making diagnosis and treatment a challenge. Historically, patients are referred to neurologists who, after completing a diagnostic work up, refer patients to mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, for treatment. For a number of reasons, this transition of care between specialists is often not successful, and this impacts patient treatment and outcomes. Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures: Toward the Integration of Care offers new insights into the practical diagnostic and treatment challenges faced by clinicians who manage this condition. This book covers the different stages of care, from the initial evaluation to long-term outcomes, and highlights the need to work collaboratively to provide patients with comprehensive care and improved outcomes. It provides up-to-date evidence and shares clinical expertise for the management of this challenging diagnosis that requires the expertise of a multi-disciplinary team. The authors provide a new framework on how to conceptualize and manage this disorder to more effectively address the needs of patients. |

| minnesota multiphasic personality inventory test online: The MMPI Robert C. Colligan, Kenneth P. Offord, 1992 The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is the most widely used and thoroughly researched of all the objective personality assessment instruments. However, current norms for adolescents are based on cases drawn from studies conducted 25-45 years ago. This book presents the procedures used to develop contemporary adolescent norms and is intended to serve as a manual for their use. The study used 1315 randomly selected, non-paid adolescent males and females ranging in age from 13 through 17 years, who were screened for physically or mentally handicapping conditions that might have biased response patterns. Contemporary norms using the traditional approach of scores without K correction, as well as entirely new norms based on raw scores with K correction, were developed. All of the normative tables use easily normalized T scores instead of the linear transformations that have been used in the past. In the adolescent study, changes were studied that might have occurred in the way contemporary normal adolescents in junior and senior high school responded to the items of the MMPI. Because of the many significant changes that were observed when MMPI responses from our contemporary normal adult sample were compared with the original adult MMPI norms, it's believed that it was necessary to investigate the possibility that similar changes had occurred among adolescents ages 13-17 years during the 25 years since Marks and Briggs established their normal adolescent samples. |
| minnesota multiphasic personality inventory test online: Dimensional Models of Personality Disorders Thomas A. Widiger, 2006 Are personality disorders discrete conditions or rather distinctions along dimensions of general personality functioning? This collection of papers renews long-standing proposals for incorporating a dimensional model of personality disorder within the next DSM. It describes alternative models, addresses questions regarding their clinical application and utility, and suggests that future research seek to integrate such models within a common hierarchical structure. Drawn from a planning conference for DSM-V, Dimensional Models of Personality Disorders opens with a presentation of 18 proposals for dimensional approaches and proceeds with provocative contributions on a number of related issues ranging from hard science to clinical practice. The topics covered include molecular genetic research, neurobiological dimensional models of personality, and broad-spectrum developmental antecedents of adult personality disorders. In considering such a major revision to the DSM, the volume addresses not only the separation of clinical and personality disorders across Axes I and II but also the challenges of coverage and cutoffs that must be addressed if dimensional models are to be considered as viable alternatives to categorical diagnosis.
