MMPI Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 

# data[].attributes.subject
MMPI Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 

# data[].attributes.body
Used to access personality traits with people that suspected of having a clinical health or mental health issues.

The pros are that this test has been proven to be valid and reliable. Questions are short and direct.

The cons of using this test are that the results can skewed if the patient is under distress. The test cannot be administered electronically. This tool is often used in legal cases for criminal defense and for custody cases.

MMPI was created  in 1940,MMPI-2 was created in 1989 to address questions that were considered racist or sexist.

The MMPI has 567 questions and can be a challenging survey to administer because  it takes between 60-90 minutes.
Scoring has to be don by a trained psychologist/psychiatrist.

I would feel comfortable using this tool in a setting that was comfortable and with a client that was able to tolerate extending questioning. This wouldn't be an accessible tool in certain situations such as a crisis.

# data[].attributes.body
There are better options/tools that are more precise

Mac-R The Macandrew Alcoholism Scale Revised

# data[].attributes.body
The Mac-R screens for substance use in general based on a scoring system (criterion keying method). Looks at cognitive impairment, school maladjustment, interpersonal competence, risk taking, extroversion and harmful habits.

Pros: Numerous studies indicate that Mac-R scores are stable over long term treatment.

Cons: Internal consistency estimates vary. Persons with antisocial traits sometimes produce false positives while persons with mood disorders who are also substance users may produce false negative.

I would feel comfortable using it along with further testing.

The APS was developed as an MMPI-2 based measure of the personality factors underlying the development of addictive disorders. Looks at the personality dimensions associated with substance use.

Pros: 39 Items. Can be computer or pencil-and-paper self administered. The questions aim to differentiate alcoholics and drug abusers from psychiatric patients. Time to interpret score is brief.
Cons: Close-ended questions, not much room for exploration.

Yes, I would feel comfortable administrating this tool.

I don't believe that this document would provide too much insight into the severity of a client's addiction.

# data[].attributes.body
Definitely feel more comfortable with AUDIT than with CAGE. AUDIT is a better starting off point/baseline for obtaining more information from the interviewee but there is still an opportunity to supplement this with additional tools/questions

# data[].attributes.body
Would want to take the test first before using it on a client.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes- no training required, simple questions, and easily added to a conversation about substance use.

# data[].attributes.body
yes, we would. we would all feel comfortable giving this out to a client. It is not too intrusive.

Melissa- Sat in on comprehensive admission assessment, but was not allowed to see how the counselor put the assessment answers together for a clinical diagnosis, the starting point for clinical staff in working with the client.
Also received criticism for not identifying psychopathology in clients, but wasn't included in the intimate counselor-client meetings where many of these factors were identified and discussed.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I believe I would be comfortable administering this test

# data[].attributes.body
did a depression scale assessment and they are very repetitive. it is more beneficial to do counseling session at times because the assessment's do not have enough information or too much information that have made the client more apprehensive. .

# data[].attributes.body
We would not feel comfortable using this tool right now in this moment because it has not be administered by a licensed individual.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't feel like survey type assessments really help the clinician get a good grasp of the issue. For example the CAGE screening and the depression screening given at my PCP's office. They are easy to to answer in a way that looks like you don't have a problem.
