Millon Pre-Adolescent Clinical Inventory
M-PACI
Millon® Pre-Adolescent Clinical Inventory is specifically designed to identify psychological problems in children. Unlike instruments that focus on a single clinical area such as anxiety or depression, M-PACI® provides an integrated view that synthesizes emerging personality styles and clinical syndromes, helping detect early signs of Axis I and Axis II disorders.

Test Content
-
The M-PACI items are at the third-grade reading level.
-
No. The inventory was developed and normed based on the responses of 9- to 12-year-olds who were being seen in clinical settings. It should not be used to screen non-clinical cases for psychological problems.
-
Yes, but only with children who have been referred for evaluation and/or counseling due to apparent behavioral and/or emotional problems. In other words, it should only be used with clinical cases.
-
No. The children involved in the M-PACI development and validation research were between the ages of 9 and 12. Thus, there are no data to support M-PACI use with children outside this age range. The scoring software will not score the inventory if the child is younger than 9 or older than 12.
-
Not at this time.
Administration
-
Twenty minutes or less.
-
No. The M-PACI inventory can be administered on-screen using this software or it can be administered paper and pencil.
Scoring
-
If five or more items are omitted (either left blank or double-marked) the inventory is unscorable. If possible, the child should be asked to answer omitted items so that the inventory can be scored.
