“…This sample size is sufficient, given a well-established reliability and validity of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory. For example, many studies employing this inventory in a nonclinical setting relied on sample sizes between 70 and 140 (Strack, 1991; White et al , 2001; Stredny et al , 2006; Lenny and Dear, 2009; Aguerrevere et al , 2011; Dozier et al , 2020).…”

Purpose This study investigates the role of personality disorders in the context of counterproductive knowledge behavior. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through a survey administered to 120 full-time employees recruited from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Personality disorders were measured by means of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-IV. Findings Personality disorders play an important role in the context of counterproductive knowledge behavior: employees suffering from various personality disorders are likely to hide knowledge from their fellow coworkers and engage in knowledge sabotage. Of particular importance are dependent, narcissistic and sadistic personality disorders as well as schizophrenic and delusional severe clinical syndromes. There is a need for a paradigm shift in terms of how the research community should portray those who engage in counterproductive knowledge behavior, reconsidering the underlying assumption that all of them act deliberately, consciously and rationally. Unexpectedly, most personality disorders do not facilitate knowledge hoarding. Practical implications Organizations should provide insurance coverage for the treatment of personality disorders, assist those seeking treatment, inform employees about the existence of personality disorders in the workplace and their impact on interemployee relationships, facilitate a stress-free work environment, remove social stigma that may be associated with personality disorders and, as a last resort, reassign workers suffering from extreme forms of personality disorders to tasks that require less interemployee interaction (instead of terminating them). Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this work represents one of the first attempts to empirically investigate the notion of personality disorders in the context of knowledge management.

“…In addition to the cognition validity indicators, the modifier indexes of the MCMI-III and the scale Self-Disclosure from the BHI-2 were used to assess validity of self-report (Aguerrevere, Greve, Bianchini, & Ord, 2011; Bruns & Disorbio, 2009). In the absence of the MCMI-III or the BHI-2, some persons who gave valid cognitive test performance but exaggerated their subjective symptoms would go undetected and might mistakenly be placed in the Not MRPD group.…”

The symptom reports of individuals with chronic pain are multidimensional (e.g., emotional, cognitive, and somatic) and significantly contribute to increased morbidity and lost work productivity. When pain occurs in the context of a legally compensable event, reliable assessment of a patient's multifactorial symptom experience during psychological or neuropsychological evaluations is a necessity. The Validity Scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) have been shown useful in identifying symptom overreporting and feigning within chronic pain samples and a number of studies have emerged supporting the use of the MMPI-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) in the detection of simulated or feigned impairment in a variety of populations. To date, only 1 other study exists examining the ability of the MMPI-2-RF to detect exaggerated complaints using a strict operationalization of malingering exclusive to chronic pain samples. The purpose of this study was to examine the classification accuracy of MMPI-2-RF Validity Scales in a group of patients with chronic pain using a criterion-groups design. The final sample consisted of 501 clinical chronic pain patients assigned to groups based on the Bianchini, Greve, and Glynn (2005) criteria for Malingered Pain-Related Disability (MPRD). Results showed that all MMPI-2-RF Validity Scales differentiated malingerers from nonmalingerers with a high degree of accuracy. At cut-offs associated with ≥95% Specificity, Sensitivities ranged from 15% (Fs) to 60% (Response Bias Scale; RBS). This study demonstrates that the MMPI-2-RF Validity Scales are capable of differentiating intentional symptom exaggeration from genuine complaints in a sample of incentivized chronic pain patients.

T he Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) was originally created as the Millon Illinois Self-Report Inventory (MISRI) to measure the prototypes of Theodore Millon's (1969) personality theory. Shortly thereafter, the MISRI was expanded to include other diagnostic entities besides personality, and it lost the Illinois part in its title when Millon moved to the University of Miami (Millon, 1977). Millon believed that neither his theory nor his test should remain static, and the current version of the test is in its fourth edition (MCMI-IV;Millon, 2015). This chapter describes the instrument, particularly with regard to the assessment of disordered thinking, review its operating characteristics, and note the questionnaire's advantages and disadvantages. Before I do that, however, I am going to introduce the MCMI by using a fictional character whom you may know.The main protagonist in the film Whiplash (Chazelle, 2014) is Terence Fletcher, portrayed by J. K. Simmons in the film. Fletcher is an abusive, narcissistic jazz instructor. He played mind games at the expense of his students. At one point, for instance, he insisted that a student's instrument was out of tune and dismissed the student, although he later told the group that the instrument was actually not out of tune, and then he faulted the student for not standing his ground. He recruited three different percussionists and repeatedly and abrasively dismissed one and selected another. Eventually, he was fired by his university because of his mistreatment of students. When I teach a course that includes the MCMI-IV, I have my students watch the
