Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

[edit] Scoring System

The major scales are divided in four ranges: normal (0-60), tendency (61-75), trait (76-85), and personality disorder (86-115).
