08 Oct Psychodiagnostics system

While the Exner system is still a widely taught scoring system for the Rorschach, in 2011, the ____________________________ was published to “take advantage of the Rorschach’s unique strengths as a highly portable complex behavioral task that provides a means of systematically observing and measuring personality in action” (Meyer et al., 2011, p. 2)

 Question 4“During the past 12 months, have you noticed a decline in your memory such that you have trouble remembering where you put things, remembering to take your medications, or remembering to pay bills?” and “During the past 12 months, have you had problems with your memory or thinking that interfere with your ability to do things that you regularly do such as taking care of your home, managing your checkbook, or keeping up with TV programs?” These questions represent

 

  items on the MMPI-2 developed to measure psychosis in elderly clients.
