Self-Report Tests of Personality

272
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:

  • Psychiatry and Mental Health Services Research
  • Health Informatics
  • Patient Engagement Studies

Background:

  • Personality disorders (PDs) are linked to increased mental health service utilization.
  • Understanding engagement patterns in complex PD populations is crucial but limited.
  • Secondary mental health services data offers insights into patient engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify subgroups of individuals with PDs based on their service receipt patterns.
  • To investigate associations between routinely collected data and identified subgroups.
  • To inform clinical decision-making for patients with complex needs.

Main Methods:

  • Latent profile analysis of 3941 patients with PD diagnoses from South London secondary mental health services (2007-2018).
  • Inclusion of demographic, service use (contacts, did-not-attend), and treatment data.
  • Statistical analysis of cluster membership related to nursing and other team contacts.

Main Results:

  • Two distinct subgroups emerged: low service receipt (73.05%) and high service receipt (26.95%).
  • A two-profile solution was statistically significant, unlike a three-profile solution.
  • Cluster membership significantly correlated with nursing contacts, independent of other team interactions.

Conclusions:

  • Routinely collected data can effectively classify engagement subtypes in complex PD patients.
  • Identified factors associated with service use can guide clinical decisions.
  • Potential to enhance treatment strategies for individuals with complex mental health needs.
