I have never been referred for this.

I did do a google search for you and here is what I found on it.

mle,
I've done the beck anxiety and depression inventory before. I found them on the web, though I just tried to find them now, and can't.

But, the doc said they were quite well respected and are geared to the DSM IV. So they are the test that is regarded today. (Frankly, I don't know if that's a good thing or not, if you know what I mean...

)

Shalom!

I've been tested 3 separate times.

For all 3, I took the MMPI. It's a multiple choice test, not unlike taking the SAT or other college entrance exam. Takes about 1-2 hours. All sorts of seemingly odd questions.

My understanding is that the person taking the test will tend to fall into a given profile. The test can even determine if the test taker is being honest when answering the questions or not.
