Abstract
The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (mcmi) is a useful instrument for the assessment of personality disorders and clinical syndromes. A recent survey on psychological test usage indicated that the mcmi is among the 25 most frequently used psychological tests in clinical practice and that the mcmi is ranked third, behind only the mmpi and the Rorschach, in terms of research studies on the test published within the past five years. However, although there is now a substantial clinical and research base with this test, laments continue to be heard concerning the difficulties in interpreting it. Therefore, an objective presentation of interpretive principles is now warranted.
