Which personality test is most likely given to evaluate a suspected personality disorder?

WAIS
WRAT
MMPI
Luria Nebraska

The correct answer is: MMPI

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is specifically designed for assessing and diagnosing various psychological conditions, including personality disorders. It contains a wide range of items that evaluate different personality traits and psychopathology. The test is valuable in both clinical practice and research because it includes validated scales that can indicate the presence of personality disorders, making it a preferred choice for evaluators suspecting such conditions. In contrast, other tests listed serve different purposes. For instance, the WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) primarily measures cognitive abilities and intelligence, while the WRAT (Wide Range Achievement Test) assesses reading, spelling, and arithmetic skills. The Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery is focused on assessing neurological function and cognitive impairment rather than personality traits. Therefore, the MMPI stands out as the most suitable tool for evaluating suspected personality disorders.
