“…A number of other personality scales have been implemented as on-line instruments. Studies on personality assessment started over 40 years ago in psychology with works like MMPI & MMPI-2 (Hathaway & Mckinley, 1940;Helmes & Reddon, 1993) and 16-PF Test (Cattell, 1965).…”

The success or otherwise of Software Engineering (SE) activities depends on the interactions among software engineers. Consequently, effective interactions depend largely on personality traits, which is a consistent and long-lasting tendency in behaviour. In psychology, five major trait factors (The Big Five Factors) have been generally used to assess personality of people. But, these might not be adequate in SE because of the required technical and cognitive skills. In this work, we first present Cognitive Ability as an additional factor that must be measured in order to adequately assess personality in SE. A research survey was conducted in order to capture personality requirements in SE. Based on the result of the survey conducted, we develop a model for assessing personality traits in SE. We then design an assessment technique that is based on responses to some well-structured and deductive on-line questions. The implementation of the model using Visual Basic resulted in a much-needed tool that can guide intending software engineers in choosing area of specialization in SE based on their personality traits.

“…The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) is a valid expansion of the original MMPI, developed by Hathaway and McKinley in 1940, and invented for both clinical and non-clinical applications. Parker, hanSon, and hunSley (1988) found similar results, with reliability coefficients averaging 0.74.…”

The purpose of this research was to examine the possible effects of gender and age differences in psychopathy tendency and personality characteristics in an Iranian sample. The sample included 106 adolescents and 94 youth that were randomly selected from Eghlid city, Iran. Analysis indicated that psychopathy and personality were positively correlated in agreeableness and conscientiousness domains, and positive affects, intellectual interest and dependability traits among the adolescents and youth groups. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANoVA) rejected the effects of age group and gender in both psychopathy and personality characteristics. The resulting findings indicated that orderliness and positive affect, intellectual interest, extraversion and unconventionality, and orderliness explained psychopathy in the total sample, adolescents, youth and males respectively.

“…In a relatively recent publication , detection of underreported symptoms and behaviors using the MMPI (Hathaway & McKinley, 1940), MMPI-2 (Butcher, Dahlstrom, Graham, Tellegen, & Kaemmer, 1989), and MMPI-A was reviewed. As summarized in Edwards, 1957], and the Superlative scale [S; Butcher & Han, 1995]) have shown efficacy in the detection of faking good.…”

The ability of respondents to underreport successfully on substance abuse and validity scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent was evaluated. Incarcerated teens (67 substance abusing, 59 non-substance abusing) completed the MMPI-A twice: once under standard instructions (SI) and once under instructions to fake good (FG). Under SI, substance scales correctly classified about 60% to 85% of adolescents. Under FG, substance-and nonsubstance-abusing juveniles produced lower scores on substance scales. However, the Lie Scale (L) was able to detect more than 75% of deceptive profiles and about 77% of honest profiles. When scale L and the best substance scale were used in combination, only about 18% of faking substance abusers were not identified as either substance abusers or as underreporting. For feigning substance abusers, only about 10% of substance abusers were detected, with about 72% being categorized as faking and needing further assessment. Keywords incarcerated; faking; MMPI-A; substance useGiven the social and economic costs of adolescent substance abuse, professionals have attempted to develop valid and efficient screening and assessment instruments to identify adolescents with such problems (Personal Experiences Inventory [PEI], Winters, 1999; Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory for Adolescents [SASSI-A], Miller, 1990). It is especially important to screen and assess for such disorders in juvenile correctional settings, where often this is the adolescent's first opportunity for intervention. There is a high rate of substance use and abuse in justice-involved teens (Teplin, Abram, McClelland, Dulcan, & Mericle, 2002), and it is important to be able to identify those adolescents who need more services and those who may not require as many services from a system with few resources.There has been increasing interest in the application of the MMPI-A (Butcher et al., 1992) to juvenile offender populations (e.g., see Cashel, Rogers, Sewell, & Holliman, 1998;Pena, Megargee, & Brody, 1996;, 2001). Screening and assessing for substance problems can be important for understanding factors that may have been involved in misconduct as well as treatment placement. However, screening and assessment can be impeded by motivation to misreport symptoms of substance use. It is important that NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript screening and assessment measures be able to effectively detect substance use difficulties and misreporting. Fortunately, the MMPI-A has scales to detect substance use problems as well as misreported symptoms and behavior. Detecting Substance Abuse Using the MMPI-AThe MMPI-A has three scales to detect substance use problems: the MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale-Revised (MAC-R; Butcher et al., 1992), the Alcohol/Drug Problem Acknowledgment (ACK) scale, and the Alcohol/Drug Problem Proneness (PRO) scale (Weed, Butcher, & Williams, 1994). The MAC-R was originally devised by MacAndrew in 1965 and was called the MAC. Effectiveness o...
