WJ-IV-Cog
Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities
What is the rationale for the WJ-IV-Cog?

Adequate to excellent (.76-.97)
Which reliability (besides test-retest) and validities are evident in the WJ-IV-Cog?
Internal consistency, construct validity, and content validity
What cultural consideration is noted for the WJ-IV-Cog?
Some subtests require a higher degree of English language proficiency
When might someone use the WJ-IV-Cog over the WAIS-IV?
When the administrator wants to look at more academic-domain specific aptitudes alongside cognitive functioning
D-KEFS
Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System
What is the rationale for the D-KEFS?
Used to examine the presence of different forms of executive function, especially related to attention, cognitive flexibility, and so on

Variable (.13-.90)
How come the internal consistency and test-retest reliability for the D-KEFS are variable?
There is no standard way of administration (the administrator can choose whatever subtests they think are appropriate)
How is the sensitivity and specificity described?
Modest (sensitivity is .64 and specificity is .67)
MMPI-3
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, 3rd Edition
What is the rationale for the MMPI-3?
The MMPI was created to help mental health professionals diagnose mental health disorders; the test was designed to be an efficient way to detect psychiatric disturbance

18+
What are the mean and standard deviation of the MMPI-3?
Mean: 50
SD: 10
What T-score (and higher) is indicative of psychopathology for the MMPI-3?
A T-score of 65
What census data is the MMPI-3 normed on?

MCMI-IV
Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, 4th Edition (MCMI-IV)
What is the rationale for the MCMI-IV?
Specifically captures personality patterns and characteristics, as well as some psychopathology
What is the age range for the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, 4th Edition (MCMI-IV)?
18+
What population was the MCMI-IV normed on?

What are the base rate scores of the MCMI-IV?
Cut-off scores are 75 and 85
What is said about the test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and convergent validity for the MCMI-IV?
There is evidence

Good (average alpha of .84)
How are the Grossman Facet Scales reliability coefficients of the MCMI-IV described?
Adequate to good (.70-.80s)
What is the main issue with comparing normative samples of the MCMI-IV?
Normative sample characteristics are an issue because the sample should be compared to a sample with psychopathology, not a normative sample
