Running head: PERSONALITY ASSESMENT
Subject:
Name:
Institution:
The personality assessment of Jane consisted of five major
paradigms. These are the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality
Inventory-Adolescents, the mental status examination, the
reviewing of school records, the reviewing of prior medical
records and interviewing and observation. The analysis was
meant to analyze Jane’s recent behavior as well as her declining
performance in academics. The tests administered are very valid
because they measure exactly what they are meant to measure
with reference to the case of Jane. The MMPI-A is meant to
measure Jane’s psychopathology levels as well as give details
into her personality. This is very important in determining
exactly why she is acting as she is. The mental status
examination is meant to examine Jane’s current state of mind.
This is instrumental in assessing her behavior with reference to
here recent outbursts as well as seeming lack of interest in
academic activities. The school records are meant to create a
trend in the academic and behavioral performance of Jane. They
will show if her academic performance is truly on the decline.
The interview is meant as a platform to analyze Jane on a
personal level. Tis will give information on aspects such as how
she relates with other people. The test procedures administered
on Jane are very reliable. The test procedures have given results
which are very consistent. The MMPI-A has indicated that she
has elements of explosive behavior and this has been
corroborated by her school records which show that she has
been subject to three in school suspensions due to her classroom
outbursts. There are also some cultural considerations inherent
in this assessment. These include the relationship that culturally
exists between Jane and her parents.
There are ethical issues which might arise from the use of
personality assessment in this scenario. First of all Jane is a
minor. The results of her personality assessment should only be
made available to the relevant parties. It would be very
unethical for a party which is not relevant in this instance to see
the results of this personality assessment. Having performed the
personality assessment on Jane, the psychologist is an expert
witness on her state. There should be limitations on the level to
which the psychologist can disseminate information about Jane
with reference to her personality assessment.
In order to improve Jane’s personality assessment the five-
factor personality questionnaire should be incorporated into her
assessment. This involves the patient being subjected to image
based questionnaires. This is meant to assess her personality
factors with reference to how she responds to the image
questionnaires.

PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION
(Williamsburg Mental Health Center)
Jane Smith
Date of Evaluation: 10/12/2013
Case No.: 12783A
Admission Date: 10/8/2013
PURPOSE FOR EVALUATION:
This is the second admission of a 32-year-old female to the
Center. The client has 14 years of formal
education and is employed as an administrative assistant at a
local community college. She was admitted
due to signs of major depression with possible psychotic
features.
The purpose of this clinical evaluation is to assess the client’s
current mental well-being and the extent of
her need for clinical intervention.
ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES:
The clinical psychiatrist on duty recommended the following
assessments:
• Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2)
• Mental Status Examination
• Review of Prior Psychological Assessment
• Review of Prior Medical Records
• Clinical Interview
ASSESSMENT RESULTS:
Note: Typically, this section reports test results of all the
recommended assessments. Here you are
provided with the abbreviated results from the MMPI-2, the
Mental Status Examination, Review of Prior
Medical Records, and Clinical Interview.
Adjustment Level
Jane’s elevated scores on Depression (T = 94) and
Psychasthenia (T = 92) scales indicate her
dissatisfaction with her life situation and feelings of
hopelessness and inadequacy.
Symptoms
Jane appears to suffer from major depression, which is evident
in her elevated Harris-Lingoes
subscales on depression (D1, T = 101; D2, T = 89; D3, T = 80;
D4, T = 99; and D5, T = 80).
These scores and a high score on the Social Introversion scale
(T = 79) indicate chance of suicidal
PSY615: Week Two Counseling-Based Personality Assessment
Scenario
tendencies. She may withdraw from personal relationships and
struggle with separation, which
links to her depression.
Perceptions of Environment and People
Jane’s elevated scores on Fears (T = 77) and Anxiety (T = 80)
indicates that she does not feel safe
or comfortable in most environments.
Reaction to Stress
Jane’s elevated D1 subscale and low ego strength indicate that
she is not able to cope well with
stress, even under normal circumstances. Jane likely reacts to
stress by withdrawing and isolating
herself from the stressors.
Self-Concept
Jane’s score on Low Self-Esteem (T = 89) is evidence of low
ego strength and a poor self-
concept.
Emotional Control
Jane seems to have a lack of emotional control with her
depression. She appears to be struggling
with feelings of hopelessness and despair. Elevations in level
of depression should be monitored,
particularly if the elevations extend over a long period of time.
Interpersonal Relationships
In addition to her depression, Jane’s score on Social
Introversion (t = 79) indicates she is aloof,
ruminative, and withdrawn. Other indicators include elevated
scores on Familial Discord (T =
72) and Family Problems (T = 83), which supports the evidence
that she may have turmoil in the
family.
Psychological Resources
Jane has attended college and appears intelligent. She has some
satisfaction with work, so she
knows that she is successful on some level. Her high score on
Negative Treatment Indicators
(TRT, T = 85) coupled with depression may indicate a negative
attitude toward therapy.
Social Dynamics
Jane’s parents are divorced and her home life was likely filled
with conflict and dissention. Her
parents were highly critical, which may be the source of her
isolated introversion, anxiety, and
depression.
Diagnostic Impressions
Jane’s MMPI profile indicates that she suffers from major
depressive disorder and she is at risk
for suicidal tendencies. Jane may also have a bipolar
personality and problems with mental
processes, but she does not appear a danger to others at this
time.
PSY615: Week Two Counseling-Based Personality Assessment
Scenario
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The client is a 32-year-old, single white female who was
previously admitted one year ago for possible
suicidal ideation and major depression. She has an associate’s
degree and is currently working for a local
community college as the administrative assistant for the dean
of the business school. She does not have
a record of suicide attempts or long-term hospitalization in a
mental health facility. She is a single female
with no family history of mental illness.
MENTAL STATUS EXAMINATION:
Observational conclusions of the patient's attitude were as
follows:
Open and cooperative, and her mood was euthymic. Her affect
was appropriate to verbal content and
showed broad range. Her memory functions seemed grossly
intact and she was able to recall events and
factual information. Her thought process was intact, goal
oriented, and well organized. The client
indicated no evidence of delusions, paranoia, or
suicidal/homicidal ideation. Her level of personal insight
appeared to be good, as evidenced by ability to state her current
diagnosis and by ability to identify
specific stressors that precipitated the current exacerbation.
Social judgment appeared good, as evidenced
by appropriate interactions with staff and other patients in the
center and by cooperative efforts to achieve
treatment goals required for discharge.

5Running head PERSONALITY ASSESMENT SubjectNameInstitut.docx

  • 1. 5 Running head: PERSONALITY ASSESMENT Subject: Name: Institution: The personality assessment of Jane consisted of five major paradigms. These are the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescents, the mental status examination, the reviewing of school records, the reviewing of prior medical records and interviewing and observation. The analysis was meant to analyze Jane’s recent behavior as well as her declining performance in academics. The tests administered are very valid because they measure exactly what they are meant to measure with reference to the case of Jane. The MMPI-A is meant to measure Jane’s psychopathology levels as well as give details into her personality. This is very important in determining exactly why she is acting as she is. The mental status examination is meant to examine Jane’s current state of mind. This is instrumental in assessing her behavior with reference to here recent outbursts as well as seeming lack of interest in academic activities. The school records are meant to create a trend in the academic and behavioral performance of Jane. They will show if her academic performance is truly on the decline. The interview is meant as a platform to analyze Jane on a personal level. Tis will give information on aspects such as how she relates with other people. The test procedures administered on Jane are very reliable. The test procedures have given results which are very consistent. The MMPI-A has indicated that she has elements of explosive behavior and this has been corroborated by her school records which show that she has been subject to three in school suspensions due to her classroom outbursts. There are also some cultural considerations inherent in this assessment. These include the relationship that culturally
  • 2. exists between Jane and her parents. There are ethical issues which might arise from the use of personality assessment in this scenario. First of all Jane is a minor. The results of her personality assessment should only be made available to the relevant parties. It would be very unethical for a party which is not relevant in this instance to see the results of this personality assessment. Having performed the personality assessment on Jane, the psychologist is an expert witness on her state. There should be limitations on the level to which the psychologist can disseminate information about Jane with reference to her personality assessment. In order to improve Jane’s personality assessment the five- factor personality questionnaire should be incorporated into her assessment. This involves the patient being subjected to image based questionnaires. This is meant to assess her personality factors with reference to how she responds to the image questionnaires.

PSY615: Week Two Counseling-Based Personality Assessment Scenario PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION (Williamsburg Mental Health Center) Jane Smith Date of Evaluation: 10/12/2013 Case No.: 12783A
  • 3. Admission Date: 10/8/2013 PURPOSE FOR EVALUATION: This is the second admission of a 32-year-old female to the Center. The client has 14 years of formal education and is employed as an administrative assistant at a local community college. She was admitted due to signs of major depression with possible psychotic features. The purpose of this clinical evaluation is to assess the client’s current mental well-being and the extent of her need for clinical intervention. ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES: The clinical psychiatrist on duty recommended the following assessments: • Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) • Mental Status Examination • Review of Prior Psychological Assessment • Review of Prior Medical Records • Clinical Interview
  • 4. ASSESSMENT RESULTS: Note: Typically, this section reports test results of all the recommended assessments. Here you are provided with the abbreviated results from the MMPI-2, the Mental Status Examination, Review of Prior Medical Records, and Clinical Interview. Adjustment Level Jane’s elevated scores on Depression (T = 94) and Psychasthenia (T = 92) scales indicate her dissatisfaction with her life situation and feelings of hopelessness and inadequacy. Symptoms Jane appears to suffer from major depression, which is evident in her elevated Harris-Lingoes subscales on depression (D1, T = 101; D2, T = 89; D3, T = 80; D4, T = 99; and D5, T = 80). These scores and a high score on the Social Introversion scale (T = 79) indicate chance of suicidal PSY615: Week Two Counseling-Based Personality Assessment Scenario
  • 5. tendencies. She may withdraw from personal relationships and struggle with separation, which links to her depression. Perceptions of Environment and People Jane’s elevated scores on Fears (T = 77) and Anxiety (T = 80) indicates that she does not feel safe or comfortable in most environments. Reaction to Stress Jane’s elevated D1 subscale and low ego strength indicate that she is not able to cope well with stress, even under normal circumstances. Jane likely reacts to stress by withdrawing and isolating herself from the stressors. Self-Concept Jane’s score on Low Self-Esteem (T = 89) is evidence of low ego strength and a poor self- concept. Emotional Control Jane seems to have a lack of emotional control with her depression. She appears to be struggling with feelings of hopelessness and despair. Elevations in level
  • 6. of depression should be monitored, particularly if the elevations extend over a long period of time. Interpersonal Relationships In addition to her depression, Jane’s score on Social Introversion (t = 79) indicates she is aloof, ruminative, and withdrawn. Other indicators include elevated scores on Familial Discord (T = 72) and Family Problems (T = 83), which supports the evidence that she may have turmoil in the family. Psychological Resources Jane has attended college and appears intelligent. She has some satisfaction with work, so she knows that she is successful on some level. Her high score on Negative Treatment Indicators (TRT, T = 85) coupled with depression may indicate a negative attitude toward therapy. Social Dynamics Jane’s parents are divorced and her home life was likely filled with conflict and dissention. Her parents were highly critical, which may be the source of her isolated introversion, anxiety, and
  • 7. depression. Diagnostic Impressions Jane’s MMPI profile indicates that she suffers from major depressive disorder and she is at risk for suicidal tendencies. Jane may also have a bipolar personality and problems with mental processes, but she does not appear a danger to others at this time. PSY615: Week Two Counseling-Based Personality Assessment Scenario BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The client is a 32-year-old, single white female who was previously admitted one year ago for possible suicidal ideation and major depression. She has an associate’s degree and is currently working for a local community college as the administrative assistant for the dean of the business school. She does not have a record of suicide attempts or long-term hospitalization in a mental health facility. She is a single female with no family history of mental illness.
  • 8. MENTAL STATUS EXAMINATION: Observational conclusions of the patient's attitude were as follows: Open and cooperative, and her mood was euthymic. Her affect was appropriate to verbal content and showed broad range. Her memory functions seemed grossly intact and she was able to recall events and factual information. Her thought process was intact, goal oriented, and well organized. The client indicated no evidence of delusions, paranoia, or suicidal/homicidal ideation. Her level of personal insight appeared to be good, as evidenced by ability to state her current diagnosis and by ability to identify specific stressors that precipitated the current exacerbation. Social judgment appeared good, as evidenced by appropriate interactions with staff and other patients in the center and by cooperative efforts to achieve treatment goals required for discharge.
