Openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (OCEAN)
250 items
Used more in research than in clinical settings
, Based on model of healthy functioning, may not be highly relevant to work with clinical
populations
Absence of validity scale is a real problem
Has incremental validity for assessing personality disorders
MMPI-2 10 clinical scales, many research scales
3 main validity scales, 4 additional validity scales
Scoring is based on pattern of responses
Computer scored
7 Validity Scales on the MMPI-2 1. Cannot say(?)
High scorers may be evasive in filling out the questionnaire.
2. Lie (L)
High scorers attempt to present themselves in a very favourable light and possibly tell lies to do
so.
3. Infrequency (F)
High scorers are presenting themselves in a particularly bad way and may well be "faking bad."
4. Defensiveness (K)
High scorers are unwilling to admit to problems.
Other validity scales consider whether the person endorses an unusual number of infrequently
endorsed items (Fb scale), responds randomly (VRIN scale), or tends to indiscriminately endorse
items as either T or F.
Personality Assessment Inventory Similar to the MMPI
344 items
4 dimensions - False, Slightly True, Mainly True, Very True
Types of scales
