Benefits of using the Millon Inventories:
- Both theoretically driven and empirically guided: The Millon inventories blend together both Dr. Millon's theory and sound empirical research to form a cohesive understanding of an individual's personality.

Master of the Mind: The Voice of Theodore Millon
Master of the Mind's primary focus is not on the contributions Ted Millon made to the fields of personality theory, personality disorders, and personality assessment, as far-reaching and multidimensional as those contributions have been (and continue to be). Rather, this book explores who Ted Millon was as a person, and seeks to identify why he was so driven, so absolutely committed to improving the human condition. It examines how Ted approached his work, how he solved problems, how he reasoned, how he thought. What motivated him. From whom he drew his inspiration. Why he chose the path he did. And a reflection on the legacy that he leaves behind.
