Municipal Police & Police Services Psychological Assessment
Municipal Police or Police Services Psychological Assessment
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and similar psychological assessments evaluate personality traits and detect potential psychological concerns. While initially designed for clinical use, these tests are now widely applied to assess psychological stability in high-risk professions, including law enforcement, aviation, and the nuclear industry.
The Municipal Police or Police Services Psychological Assessment Exam as a protected Instrument
As a protected psychological instrument, a qualified psychologist can only administer and interpret the MMPI. Although the test is often conducted via computer, the assessment process includes an initial psychologist interview. Once the test is completed and scored, the psychologist reviews the results, considering the individual’s history and any relevant psychological factors before providing a final report.
