Is a psychological agency specializing in the field of sex deviance. One aspect of the agency was to develop testing instruments to aid in the evaluation and treatment of clients. Research toward the development of a sexual test began in 1977 at a state hospital sex offender program. The original Multiphasic Sex Inventory for adult males was published in 1984, and two years later an Adolescent form was published.The authors continued research into sex offender behavior and thinking patterns and an expanded test covering more aspects of a sex offender than his sexual characteristics was developed. The new test called the Multiphasic Sex Inventory II became available for adult males in late 1996. It builds on the Original MSI and adds measures for emotional and behavioral characteristics. Forms of the MSI II for adult and adolescent males and females were developed. Research and field testing continued on all four versions of the MSI II and an update of the adult male form was released in 2000 and the adolescent male in 2001. An update to the adult female form should be available soon. An update for the adolescent female form is planned.
