MCMI
Introduction
The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III) is a psychological assessment tool intended to provide information on psychopathology, including specific disorders outlined in the DSM-IV. It is intended for adults (18 and over) with at least an 8th grade reading level. It is composed of 175 true-false questions that reportedly takes 25-30 minutes to complete. It was created by Theodore Millon, Carrie Millon, Roger Davis, and Seth Grossman.
The test is modeled on four scales
- 14 Personality Disorder Scales
- 10 Clinical Syndrome Scales
- Correction Scales (which help detect inaccurate responding)
- 42 Grossman Personality Facet Scales (based on Seth Grossman‘s theories of personality and psychopathology)
The test was normed on a sample of 998 male and female adults with a wide variety of clinical disorders.
