MMPI-2™ AND CPI™ REPORTS FOR CLINICIANS

MMPI CLINICAL NARRATIVE REPORTS

Among the first narrative comprehensive, computerized psychodiagnostic reports made available to the professional community, Behaviordata's reports are backed by more than 40 years of research and refinement. The reports contain ten clinical scales and 161 subscales (using four types of T-scores for each), along with 45 derived factors and indices, standardized to Behaviordata's proprietary norms. The NCS-Pearson (Minnesota) MMPI-2™ clinical scales are also in each report.

Carefully designed to optimize their usefulness to the clinical practitioner, seven types of narrative clinical reports are offered to the mental health professional. Each clinical report includes information on test validity, fully annotated, specific DSM diagnoses, and recommendations for treatment. Additional descriptions of psychodynamics and personality issues vary by report type. Non-clinical self-reports are also available for clinicians to give to their clients; these reports are unique to this system and are designed to provide the client with information about himself or herself.

CPI Clinical Narrative Reports

Authorized by Consulting Psychologists Press to provide the CPI clinical scoring system, Behaviordata offers CPI narrative reports of the same quality and format as its MMPI-2T reports. In-depth analysis is based on 141 scales and 45 factor scores, and is the most comprehensive clinical application of the CPI instrument available in the industry.

As a widely-researched personality inventory, the CPI is useful for assessing older adolescents and adults. While the Behaviordata clinical interpretation of the CPI is useful for diagnosing pathology, the focus of the CPI instrument is on coping behavior within normal populations. Our CPI clinical reports include annotated DSM diagnoses, with an emphasis on personality traits like leadership, dominance, social maturity, responsibility, ethical behavior, and achievement style. Scoring both the 480-item and the newer, 462-item editions, Behaviordata's CPI narratives assure you of highly useful information.

It includes some personality information and the "World of Work" narrative. This report is unique to the Behaviordata system. It is designed to provide the client with insightful information about himself or herself. This report can be a valuable resource for clinical assessment and or treatment.

Differential Report

Designed for program evaluations, clinical research, and evaluation of longitudinal changes in personality and pathology. A non-narrative report, used when an MMPI or CPI is given to a person on two or more occasions; lists all Behaviordata scales, factors, and special scores. The two sets of scores are listed along with the amount and direction of difference occurring between the two administrations. When the scores differ by more than one standard deviation, they are flagged with an indicator of the significance of difference. Requires two administrations to the same person.
