The MIPS-R consists of 180 true/false items used to assess normal adult personality. The test can be administered and scored through paper-and-pencil or computer formats. The MIPS-R is comprised of 24 scales assembled into 12 contrasting pairs. The pairs are grouped into three categories: Motivating Styles, Thinking Styles, and Behaving styles. The MIPS-R has three additional scales used to assess the test results’ validity: a Negative Impression scale, a Positive Impression scale, and a Consistency scale. A higher raw score on the Negative Impression or Positive Impression scales, indicate examinees may be attempting to represent themselves in a negative or more positive way, respectively. Because my Negative Impression raw score was average
(three), my Positive Impression raw score was low (one), and my Consistency raw score was very high (five), my MIPS-R results can be interpreted as valid. The MIPS-R uses prevalence scores (PS). Ranging from 0 to 100, a PS score of 50 or above means an individual possesses that personality trait. In addition to the threshold of the score of 50 showing if an individual has a trait, a PS of 50 can also be used as a reference point to compare to others in that same trait group. The higher the score beyond 50, the more dominant a trait will be within that individual. Other important PS scores include 69 which represents the 50th percentile of members of the trait group, and 89 which represents the 84th percentile of members of the trait group. The group of Motivating Styles includes six scales used to assess how a person responds to his/her environment. According to my prevalence score results, I possess the traits of Pain Avoiding (52), Actively Modifying (77), and Other Nurturing (89). For Pain Avoiding scale, my score barely exceeds the threshold for this trait. The trait of Actively Modifying is stronger, scoring almost directly between the 50th and 84th percentile of those who possess this trait. The trait of Other Nurturing is very dominant for me, as I scored higher than 84 percent of others who also possess this trait. Eight Thinking Style scales are used to determine how an individual takes in and processes information. My MIPS-R profile indicates prevalence scores above a 50 for the traits of Externally Focused (58), Imaginative Intuiting (74), Feeling Guided (98), and Conservation Seeking (59). My traits on Externally Focused and Conservation Seeking scales are not very strong, still 11 and 10 points respectively away from the 50th percentile of those who also possess this trait. My Imaginative Intuiting trait is more dominant with a score between the 50th and 84th percentile of fellow group members. By far my strongest trait in the Thinking Styles category is Feeling Guided scale, where I scored slightly below the 99th percentile of all others who possess this trait. The group of Behaving Styles on the MIPS-R includes 10 subscales used to measure ways of relating with others. My MIPS-R prevalence score profile shows I possess the following traits: Gregarious Outgoing (79), Anxious Hesitating (62), Dutiful Conforming (74), Submissive Yielding (80), and Cooperative Agreeing (91). My Anxious Hesitating trait is by far the weakest in this category measuring below the 50th percentile for people who possess this trait. I possess very similar amounts of Gregarious Outgoing, Dutiful Conforming, and Submissive Yielding traits; all these scores are between the 50th and 84th percentile of those who also possess these traits. All of these traits cannot compare with the strength of my Cooperative Agreeing score which is at least higher than 84 percent of those who have this trait.
An important issue that needs to be addressed within the Central Justice System is to have a reduction in the number of offenders in order to keep both society safe and reduce the population of prisons to an absolute minimum. A tool that is being widely used in order to manage and reduce recidivism rates among the average offender is the RNR model, however when it is used to treat different minority groups problems can arise as they all require different strategies in order to deal with their needs and make the model work. This essay will prove that the RNR model has the ability to reduce recidivism when it has been modified in order to accompany for the minority group of female offenders as well as highlight what challenges this specific group

In “ Review of Stanley Milgram’s Experiments On Obedience” by Diana Baumrind, and in “Obedience” by Ian Parker, the writers claim that Milgram’s Obedience is ethically wrong and work of evil because of the potential harm that the subjects of the experiment had. While Baumrind’s article focused only on the Subjects of the experiment, Parker’s article talked about both immediate and long term response to experiment along with the reaction of both the general public and Milgram’s colleagues, he also talks about the effect of the experiment on Milgram himself. Both articles discuss has similar points, they also uses Milgram’s words against him and while Baumrind attacks Milgram, Parker shows the reader that experiment
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 Restructured Form, or more commonly known as the MMPI-2-RF, is used to assess various components of personality and psychopathology (Cohen & Swerdlik, 2013). Developed by Yossef S. Ben-Porath, PhD, and Auke Tellegen, PhD, the MMPI-2-RF is a recently developed version of the MMPI-2 originally published 1943 by the University of Minnesota Press and distributed by Pearson Assessment. The University of Minnesota Press published the latest version of the MMPI-2, the MMPI-2-RF, in 2008. The MMPI-2-RF is comprised of 338 True-False items, typically taking 35-50 minutes to complete although there is no time limit. The MMPI-2-RF has different prices depending on which scoring and reporting option one chooses. The different kits available and its prices are the following: Q-global™ Web-based Scoring and Reporting ($175.00 - $230.00), Q-Local™ Software-based Scoring and Reporting (($175.00 - $230.00), Manual Scoring ($459.00), and Mail-in Scoring and Reporting ($175.00 - $235...
The MACI consists of a 160-item inventory, provided in the English and Spanish language, with a combination of the 27 subscales. The intention of the inventory is to provide counselors and other healthcare or school professional with information to assist in diagnosis and treatment planning for personality disorders in adolescent (Millon & Davis, 1993). The inventory consists of true or false questions; given that this inventory is shorter compared to other personality assessment, it only takes about 20-30 minutes to complete. Millon’s MACI inventory provides convenient and cost-effective methods for scoring the inventory, which include Q-global web-based scoring, Q-Local software-based scoring, and mail-in scoring. Since the MACI is tailored toward adolescents ranging in ages from 13-19, participants must have a minimum of a sixth grade reading level in order to
The Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire is a tool often used by professionals to assess a patient’s personality subtypes on a rating scale of 20 to 80. Under the higher order temperament factor Positive Emotionality (PEM) there are four trait scales. For the trait scale Well Being, John Wayne Gacy would score a 70. He was an upstanding member of his community, liked by his neighbors and coworkers, and would even attend children’s birthday parties and hospitals dressed as Pogo the Clown (Hickey, 2016). He had a cheerful disposition when facing the public, however, he only receives a 70 because he would, in fact, be subject to violent mood swings. For the trait scale Social Potency, Gacy receives a score of 80. He

First, by reading over my results it was very helpful to understand why I like putting others before myself, defending those who need it, and always serving others because I am the defender and that’s what 13% of the people around the world do. It is also helpful to understand why I am shyer and introverted because I put others before myself and I serve them. I also felt that by knowing what I am stronger at or weaker of so I know how to approach any situation in the future. The one thing that I found to be least helpful is that even though I know my negative traits, it will be very hard to break those habits because those qualities define who I am. Some of my most accurate responses were supportive, reliable, being a great family man and husband, caring, imaginative and observant, loyal, enthusiastic, hardworking and an admirable employee. Altogether, there was nothing that does not define who I am. These results for me were actually highly

The Myers and Briggs personality test is unlike many of the personality tests you will find randomly online because it was designed to examine the ways in which you focus on the world and make everyday decisions. After taking this test myself I have found out a few things about myself that I did not really notice before. According to the Myers-Briggs test my personality type is INFP, which stands for Introversion, iNtuition, Feeling, and Perceiving. At the start of this test I had no idea that I was considered an introvert because as far as I can remember I have always loved being around people and never really thought about things before acting, which is the exact personality of an extrovert. The end of this personality test has a section that describes the different traits of those under that category and as for what it says about me I do feel that it matches some of my traits to a tee, but at the same time I feel like there are a few traits that are a bit off. Perso...

Personality is massive part of an individual’s identity. Our personalities dictate our patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting. An individual’s personality exposes them to predispositions and habits that influence their actions and lives. Early on, personality assessments consisted of physical features ranging from head shape and facial characteristics to body type. In today’s world, personality assessments are mainly based around traits. Traits are simply descriptions of one’s habitual patterns of behavior, thought and emotion. The most popular personality assessment is the Five-Factor Model, also known as The Big Five. This model allows us to describe people based on the five main traits/dimensions. These traits are extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience. Each of these five traits measures a different aspect of one’s personality. Extraversion is based on one’s level of engagement with the world,

The Five-Factor Model of Personality gives an insight to psychologists when dealing with patients and test subjects. Due to this theory, research psychologist are able to research personality more accurately and uphold a better understanding when discussing the reasoning behind certain pre-disposed tendencies. Also, counselors which practice different types of therapy are enabled to learn details concerning their patient that can assist in the treatment of that specific patient. There have been multiple disputes in regards to the validity of the Five-Factor Model of Personality theory. Many skeptics believe that there are too many variations that come into play when dealing with personality in order to accurately depict and diagnose a 100% accurate declaration of ones’ characteristics (McCrae, 1991). The issue with relying on the model in order to declare one’s characteristics is that there is often overlap between the degrees of high and low (Popkins, 1998). Although this is a valid statement, the model is a significant role in sorting through the variations to achieve a probable consensus. Therefore, the model cannot achieve a result without any probable cause for doubt but generally will provide a clear depiction of ones’ traits and
