PAI Plus Includes a Score Report and Clinical Interpretive Report Based on New Developments Since the PAI was Introduced
The PAI Plus takes the existing PAI items and gives users an updated way to interpret the data. Using the PAI, an objective inventory of adult personality, the new report offers:
- DSM-5® update: Updated diagnostic possibilities align with the criteria.
- Alternative Model Profile: An optional new profile scores in accordance with the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders.
- Additional supplemental indices: Based on years of academic research, 15 new supplemental indices provide additional profile information related to negative and positive distortion and random responding. Supplemental clinical indicators provide profile information related to suicidality, aggression, level of care, presence of ADHD, and more.
- Context-specific norm groups: Including profile overlays for bariatric surgery candidates, child custody evaluations, chronic pain patients, college students, deployed military, egg donors/gestational carriers, motor vehicle accident claimants, police applicants, and potential kidney donors. This profile is overlayed onto the examinee’s profile to allow for comparison.
- Updated report: An updated look and feel create a streamlined and modern-looking report.
