Abstract

The Coolidge Axis II Inventory (CATI: Coolidge 2023; Coolidge & Merwin, 1992) is a 260-item self-report measure of psychological and neurocognitive issues based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013; now DSM-5-TR). The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI; now MMPI-3) presently consists of ten major scales assessing various psychological symptoms and syndromes. The Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS) is a structured interview based on the DSM that assesses previous and current psychiatric disorders. The Structured Clinical Interview (SCID-5) is a semi-structured assessment measure for identifying major DSM-5clinical syndromes. The Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) consists of 240 items and measures four temperaments (Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance, Reward Dependence, and Persistence) and three characters.
