Personality Assessment
        What is personality?
Personality is:
   Personality includes all the special qualities
    people have that make them different from
    each other. These include: charm, energy,
    disposition, attitude, temperament, cleverness,
    and all feelings and behaviors they exhibit.
Personality is:
   Personality is the reasonably stable
    patterns of thoughts, emotions, and
    behavior that distinguish one person
    from another.
Personality
   What does personality
    assessment achieve?
Personality Assessment
   Personality Assessment assists counselors in:
   Understanding the behavior of a particular
    individual
   Helps counselor come to a conclusion about a
    possible future course of action
   Helps counselor make predictions about a
    person’s unique future behavior.
Traits, States, and Types
   There are three fundamental terms related to
    personality
   Traits
   States
   Types
Traits
   Personality Traits can be viewed as the
    distinguishing characteristics or qualities
    possessed by the individual.
   Traits are “dimensions” of individual
    differences in tendencies to show consistent
    patterns of thoughts, feelings and actions.
States
   Personality States refer to a temporary
    behavioral tendency.
   Eg. A student may be described as being in an
    anxious state before finals.
   Whereas trait refers to an enduring personality
    characteristic, state usually refers to a
    temporary behavioral tendency.
Personality Types
   Personality Types are regarded as a general
    description of a person.
   Eg. Extroverted/Introverted.
Personality Inventories
   Inventories are commonly used to identify the
    structure and features of one’s personality, or
    one’s characteristic way of thinking, feelings
    and behaving.
Examples
   A career counselor administers an inventory
    in order to help a person choose a career.
   A psychologist wants to look at symptoms to
    possibly diagnose a disorder
   A school counselor implements inventors to
    see if a student is suffering from academic
    problems.
Examples (continued)
   An employment counselor uses inventories to
    see if an individual meets the right
    requirements and performance.
   A neurophysiologist administers an inventory
    to determine the extent of a possible brain
    injury.
Approaches to Personality Inventory
Development
   Personality inventories may differ in the
    approach by which they are constructed. Four
    common approaches to personality inventory
    development are Rational, Theory-
    Based, Criterion Group, and Factor Analysis.
Rational Approach
   Rational Approach is one of the oldest methods of
    personality test construction.
   Here, we use the use of reason and deductive logic to
    construct test items.
   Eg. Woodsworth Personal Data Sheet, from
    1920, which contained a 116-item self report in
    response to needs for psychiatric screening during
    the U.S. entry into WWI.
Theory-Based Approach
   This approach is founded on an established theory of
    personality, unlike Rational Approach. The
    psychodynamic theory of personality is followed and
    the unconscious/inner conflicts play a significant
    role.
   Clients are believed to eventually project or express
    unconcious fears, conflicts, or inner needs.
Criterion Group Approach
   C.G.A. is an empirical method of personality
    test construction that involves selecting items
    that can discriminate between relevant
    criterion groups and control groups. Control
    Groups are usually studied alongside
    Criterion Groups to identify items that
    distinguish the groups from one another.
Factor Analysis
   Another empirical approach that uses
    statistical procedures to analyze
    interrelationships among a large number of
    variables.
   Eg. Personality Traits.
Categories of Personality Inventories
 Structured Personality Inventories: standardized,
 usually self-report instruments. Use selected
 response items (true/false, multiple choice) or
 rating scales.
    No right or wrong answer (i.e., true may indicate a trait
     – “outgoing”).
    Broad scope inventories are very comprehensive (1 to 2
     hrs); for example, the MMPI-2.
    Narrow scope inventories focus on targeted aspects of
     personality (i.e. BDI-II).
Structured Inventory
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory
  (MMPI-2)
        567 true/false questions
        18 years and older
        Takes 60 to 90 minutes to complete
        Has 10 clinical scales that assess dimensions of
         personality and psychopathology , pg 254
        Has 9 validity scales to detect response styles
         (i.e. unanswered questions), pg 253.
        Available in English, Hmong, French and
         Spanish.

Structured Inventory
The California Psychological Inventory (CPI):
      434 true/false statements.

      Ages 12 to 70.

      Takes about 50 to 60 minutes.

      Designed for “normal” people.

      Focus on behavior patterns, feelings and
        opinions, and attitudes relating to
        social, ethical, and family matters.
Structured Inventory
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
         Another non-pathological inventory.
         Designed based on Carl Jung’s typological theory.
               Extraversion - Introversion
               Sensing – Intuitive
               Thinking – Feeling

  indicating the 4 type preferences
 ESTJ: Extraversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judging.

 INFP: Introversion, Intuition, Feeling, Perceiving.
Projective Instruments

   Require the client to answer questions using
    pictures, phrases, or inkblots.

Projective Instruments
Verbal Projective Techniques
      Require verbal and/or written responses;
        therefore, clients must have good verbal
        and written skills.

         If you had three wishes, what would you
           wish for?
         If you could be anything you wanted to

           I hate _________.
Projective Instruments
Projective Drawings
     Perhaps the oldest category of projective
      assessments used with children and
      adolescents.
     A very common technique is the “Draw-a-
      Person” test (pg. 267).
     Another technique is the House-Tree-Person
      Technique (pg. 267).
Projective Instruments
Issues

Personality assessment

  • 1. Personality Assessments Carlos F. Martinez MHA, M.Ed. carlosFmartinez.com
  • 2. Personality Assessment What is personality?
  • 3. Personality is:  Personality includes all the special qualities people have that make them different from each other. These include: charm, energy, disposition, attitude, temperament, cleverness, and all feelings and behaviors they exhibit.
  • 4. Personality is:  Personality is the reasonably stable patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behavior that distinguish one person from another.
  • 5. Personality  What does personality assessment achieve?
  • 6. Personality Assessment  Personality Assessment assists counselors in:  Understanding the behavior of a particular individual  Helps counselor come to a conclusion about a possible future course of action  Helps counselor make predictions about a person’s unique future behavior.
  • 7. Traits, States, and Types  There are three fundamental terms related to personality  Traits  States  Types
  • 8. Traits  Personality Traits can be viewed as the distinguishing characteristics or qualities possessed by the individual.  Traits are “dimensions” of individual differences in tendencies to show consistent patterns of thoughts, feelings and actions.
  • 9. States  Personality States refer to a temporary behavioral tendency.  Eg. A student may be described as being in an anxious state before finals.  Whereas trait refers to an enduring personality characteristic, state usually refers to a temporary behavioral tendency.
  • 10. Personality Types  Personality Types are regarded as a general description of a person.  Eg. Extroverted/Introverted.
  • 11. Personality Inventories  Inventories are commonly used to identify the structure and features of one’s personality, or one’s characteristic way of thinking, feelings and behaving.
  • 12. Examples  A career counselor administers an inventory in order to help a person choose a career.  A psychologist wants to look at symptoms to possibly diagnose a disorder  A school counselor implements inventors to see if a student is suffering from academic problems.
  • 13. Examples (continued)  An employment counselor uses inventories to see if an individual meets the right requirements and performance.  A neurophysiologist administers an inventory to determine the extent of a possible brain injury.
  • 14. Approaches to Personality Inventory Development  Personality inventories may differ in the approach by which they are constructed. Four common approaches to personality inventory development are Rational, Theory- Based, Criterion Group, and Factor Analysis.
  • 15. Rational Approach  Rational Approach is one of the oldest methods of personality test construction.  Here, we use the use of reason and deductive logic to construct test items.  Eg. Woodsworth Personal Data Sheet, from 1920, which contained a 116-item self report in response to needs for psychiatric screening during the U.S. entry into WWI.
  • 16. Theory-Based Approach  This approach is founded on an established theory of personality, unlike Rational Approach. The psychodynamic theory of personality is followed and the unconscious/inner conflicts play a significant role.  Clients are believed to eventually project or express unconcious fears, conflicts, or inner needs.
  • 17. Criterion Group Approach  C.G.A. is an empirical method of personality test construction that involves selecting items that can discriminate between relevant criterion groups and control groups. Control Groups are usually studied alongside Criterion Groups to identify items that distinguish the groups from one another.
  • 18. Factor Analysis  Another empirical approach that uses statistical procedures to analyze interrelationships among a large number of variables.  Eg. Personality Traits.
  • 19. Categories of Personality Inventories Structured Personality Inventories: standardized, usually self-report instruments. Use selected response items (true/false, multiple choice) or rating scales.  No right or wrong answer (i.e., true may indicate a trait – “outgoing”).  Broad scope inventories are very comprehensive (1 to 2 hrs); for example, the MMPI-2.  Narrow scope inventories focus on targeted aspects of personality (i.e. BDI-II).
  • 20. Structured Inventory The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2)  567 true/false questions  18 years and older  Takes 60 to 90 minutes to complete  Has 10 clinical scales that assess dimensions of personality and psychopathology , pg 254  Has 9 validity scales to detect response styles (i.e. unanswered questions), pg 253.  Available in English, Hmong, French and Spanish.
  • 21. MMPI-2 (Example questions) Source: https://antipolygraph.org/cgi-bin/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1109032158/0#0 1.I like mechanics magazines 11.A person should try to understand his 2.I have a good appetite dreams and be guided by or take warning 3.I wake up fresh & rested most from them mornings 12.I enjoy detective or mystery stories 4.I think I would like the work of a 13.I work under a great deal of tension librarian 14.I have diarrhea once a month or more 5.I am easily awakened by noise 15.Once in a while I think of things too 6.I like to read newspaper articles on bad to talk about crime 16.I am sure I get a raw deal from life 7.My hands and feet are usually warm 17.My father was a good man enough 18.I am very seldom troubled by 8.My daily life is full of things that constipation keep me interested 19.When I take a new, I like to be tipped 9.I am about as able to work as I ever off on whom should be gotten next to was 20.My sex life is satisfactory 10.There seems to be a lump in my throat much of the time

Axis I clinical syndromes are suggested by the client's MCMI-III profile in the areas of Alcohol Abuse and Psycho-active Substance Abuse NOS.” Source:http://www.pearsonassessments.com/hai/images/pa/pdfs/m cmi3interp.pdf
  • 25. Structured Inventory The California Psychological Inventory (CPI):  434 true/false statements.  Ages 12 to 70.  Takes about 50 to 60 minutes.  Designed for “normal” people.  Focus on behavior patterns, feelings and opinions, and attitudes relating to social, ethical, and family matters.

  • 27. Projective Instruments  Require the client to answer questions using pictures, phrases, or inkblots.  Associated with the psychodynamic theory of personality – the unconscious mind (i.e., hidden emotions, internal conflicts).  Two well-known instruments are the Rorschach and the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT).
  • 28. Projective Instruments The Rorschach Inkblot Test  Measures client’s view of his/her world.  Clients are asked to look at inkblots and to describe what they see.  The test has 10 bilaterally symmetrical inkblots printed on separate cards.  Requires examiners to be thoroughly trained.
