A personality assessment refers to techniques designed to measure the characteristic patterns of traits that people display across various situations. The Personality Assessment at Heritage is performed by a psychologist using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) method and Million Clinical Multiaxial Inventory- IV (MCMI-IV). This method is a series of True or False questions used mostly for diagnostic clarification that can only be performed by a psychologist trained to do so. 

Personality assessments involve the administration and interpretation of analytically supported measures of personality traits in order to: 

  • Confirm a diagnosis 
  • Structure and inform treatment plans
  • Increase the accuracy of predicting behavior in multiple settings

Results and recommendations will be given in a one-hour session after completion of the assessment.
