One test to evaluate if a client needs assistance with ADLs is the KELS, the Kohlman Evaluation of Living Skills. Tests, such as the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI), the Situational Test of Dependency, and the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule, are used to determine the client's dependence on others (including a diagnosis of dependent personality disorder). Personality inventories include the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Other projective and memory tests include the Rorschach inkblot, Draw-a-Person, sentence-completion, Bender-Gestalt, word-association, and thematic apperception tests (TAT).
