Diagnostic efficiency of the Dutch-language version of the Millon clinical multiaxial inventory - III

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Diagnostic efficiency statistics of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI-III; Millon, Millon, Davis, & Grossman, 2006) were examined (n = 627) in Belgian clinical and forensic settings. Belgian base rates (Rossi & Sloore, 2005) and the Dutch MCMI-III (MCMI-III-D) translation (Sloore, Derksen, & de Mey, 1994) were used. MCMI-III-D generated Axis I and II diagnoses (using base rate 75 and base rate 85 as cutoff scores) were compared to clinician-determined diagnoses. Classical diagnostic validity measures pointed out that the MCMI-III-D is a useful screening instrument. Additionally, calculation of measures of incremental validity, chance-adjusted efficiency measures and cut score independent measures consistently showed out that all MCMI-III-D scales performed better than chance and discriminated in the right direction.
