**[DIFFERENT PERSONALITY ASSESSMENTS]** **Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI)** Personality inventories are completed by the patient/individual rather than the physician. MMPI is the most common. **Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)** A psychometric tool that assesses psychological preferences in terms of how an individual perceives their environment/the world and consequently makes decisions. Developed following Carl Jung's work. **Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)** A projective test where patients are presented with pictures and asked to create a story. Alongside this, they are questioned about their thoughts and feelings. The concept is that unconscious themes will emerge, which are then interpreted and explored further. **Sentence Completion Test** A projective test that involves an open-ended form. The individual is presented with the first part of an uncompleted sentence and asked to complete it in their own words.. **Cattrell's 16 PFQ** A multiple-choice personality questionnaire that uses factor analysis and correlation coefficients. It measures the 16 primary traits and the 'Big Five' secondary traits. **Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI)** The Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) measures two pervasive, independent dimensions of personality, Extraversion-Introversion and Neuroticism-Stability, which account for most of the variance in the personality domain. **Draw a Man Test** Involves completing three separate drawings; one of a man, one of a woman and a drawing of themselves. Following this, they are requested to draw a whole person without any further instructions. This measures: personality, intelligence, sensory defects, developmental progress and visual-motor coordination. **International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE)** A consistent approach for investigating personality disorders in DSM-5 and ICD-10. Two parts: a self-administered screening questionnaire and a semi-structured interview.
