So I do a fair amount of testing in my practice, and in discussions with people, most people have a preference for certain assessments, but that preference seems to fit the clinician, not the patient or the reason for the assessment. For example, Dr X really loves the MCMI-IV for all her testing patients, seemingly regardless of the reason for testing, and so on. I'd much rather fit assessment Y with patient A because it's the best assessment I have access to for her possible diagnostic question.
So I submit to you, what do you think is the best personality assessment as part of a bariatric pre-surgical eval? What about for an ADHD eval? What about others?
Note: I hope this is obvious, but for clarity's sake-- I'm always administering a full battery, but traditionally have given the MMPI-II /II-RF... but recently have come across some clinicians that prefer the MCMI-IV. It does not need to be limited to these two, either.
