Unlike instruments that focus on a single clinical area such as anxiety or depression, the M-PACI assessment provides an integrated view that synthesises the child's emerging personality styles and clinical syndromes, helping clinicians detect early signs of Axis I and Axis II disorders.

- Uses age-appropriate language and requires minimal reading level.
- Validated against expert clinician judgments and other leading self-report inventories for this age group.
- Developed by Dr Theodore Millon, a leader in the field of personality development.
