MMPI Testing is Important for All Armed Security Officers

In today’s world, security guards play a vital role in safeguarding people, properties, and organizations. While many states have specific requirements for physical fitness and background checks, psychological fitness and suitability often get overlooked. A comprehensive psychological evaluation, including the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), is essential to ensure that security personnel are mentally and emotionally equipped to handle their duties. Even in states where psychological testing isn’t mandatory, these evaluations should still be conducted. Here’s why every security guard, regardless of legal requirements, should undergo MMPI testing and other psychological assessments. Dr. Justin D’Arienzo is a national leader in armed security MMPI Testing and Psychological Evaluations and welcomes the opportunity to work with your organization. Note that these evaluations should be a two pronged approach assessing for both psychological fitness and psychological suitability. Evaluations can be tailored to your company’s specific needs.
