Personal Multi-screening InventoryThe Personal Multi-Screening Inventory (PMSI)
The Personal Multi-Screening Inventory or PMSI is a paper and pencil self-report measure that is used to evaluate clients strengths and problems in 73 different areas of personal, emotional, interpersonal, spiritual and physical functioning. The PMSI contains up to +900 questions and requires at least 2 sessions or sometimes 3 of approximately 45 minutes each. Scoring is done scientifically by computers, and completes up to 25 page report and is available upon completion. Their are up to 101 different constructs depending on different circimstances relating to the individual being assessed. The scores of each construct are scored on a measuring scale of 0 to 100. The assessment offers a graphic comprehensive knowledge based out come that becomes essential when recruiting, team building, or quantifying the effectiveness and efficiency within an organization when attempting to achieve value based out come through the strategic planning process.
The PMSI is used primarily as an assessment tool that forms part of a therapeutic intervention with clients. The PMSI is used during the intake phase to do a thorough assessment of clients and to plan a therapeutic intervention strategy. Although the major application of the PMSI focuses on assessment and strategic planning, the PMSI can also be used for periodic re-evaluation by having clients complete it during later phases of therpeutic interventions. When used in that manner, it provides a description of change (progress, stability, or deterioration) that may have occurred during the period between administrations. Whether it is used for interim assessments or not, it is especially well suited for use immediately before termination of therapeutic interventions as a means of reflecting progress over the entire period of therapy or training. Although the subscale scores on the PMSI are easy to compute and understand (each subscale produces scores that range from 0 to 100), they are more readily comprehended and used for planning and assessment purposes by presenting them in the form of a graphic profile. The PMSI is graphically presented in color coded format making it extremely easy to interpret and understand. It is not subjective to individuals perceptions or skills. The first graph presents an overview over up to 9 sections of the PMSI, with the rest of the graphs that present the scores of the different subscales that form part of the different sections. For an example of such a graphic profile, can be viwed on the website under Report Samples. |
