Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Clinical Neurology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • The Multiple Sclerosis Performance Test (MSPT) is a patient self-administered tool for assessing neuroperformance in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS).
  • Existing assessments may not fully capture the nuances of MS-related functional decline.
  • Objective and reliable metrics are needed for clinical practice and outcomes research in MS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the test-retest reliability, practice effects, convergent validity, and sensitivity to MS disability of MSPT neuroperformance subtests.
  • To evaluate the Contrast Sensitivity Test (CST), Manual Dexterity Test (MDT), and Walking Speed Test (WST).
  • To introduce regression-based norms for interpreting the MSPT cognition test (Processing Speed Test, PST).

Main Methods:

  • Substudy 1: Assessed reliability and validity of CST, MDT, WST in 30 MS patients and 30 controls.
  • Substudy 2: Examined sensitivity to MS disability in over 600 MS patients.
  • Substudy 3: Compared PST performance between research volunteers and clinical samples.

Main Results:

  • The CST, MDT, and WST demonstrated reliability, validity, and sensitivity to MS outcomes.
  • Self-administered MSPT performance was comparable to technician-administered tests.
  • The Processing Speed Test (PST) showed poorer performance in a clinical sample versus a research sample.

Conclusions:

  • Self-administered MSPT neuroperformance modules yield reliable, objective metrics for clinical practice and MS outcomes research.
  • These tools enhance the objective assessment of neurological function in MS.
  • Cognitive dysfunction may be underestimated in studies relying solely on voluntary consent, highlighting the value of clinical sample data.
