The Triad is a combination of three main components: MCB-45, the Psychosocial Inventory, and the Values and Lifestyle Profile.
MCB-45 stands for the 45-item Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), which is an individual personality assessment used in clinical research and practice. The MMPI-2 assists in determining a person's core personality characteristics, by using true/false questions. It produces scores revealing a person's tendency to feel and act in certain ways, as well as their underlying personality traits.
The MCB-45 is intended to provide a thorough analysis of many aspects of personality, including the five major clinical scales (hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria, paranoia, and psychopathy), and nine supplementary scales (psychasthenia, masculinity-femininity, self-esteem, social introversion, hypomania, health concerns, ego strengths, need for structure, and relationship scales). It is a psychometric test designed to assess psychological traits and to help diagnose mental health problems.
