Master's level graduate students viewed a four-segment DVD, then completed a survey assessing the film's ability to meet the stated objectives. It was hoped that a DVD capturing three nationally known MMPI-2 experts would prove to be engaging and intellectually stimulating, promoting student interest in psychological concepts, increase critical thinking, and enhance learning (Dorris & Ducey, 1978 Fleming, Piedmont & Hiam, 1990 Hart & Stevens, 1995 Konrad & Yoder, 2000 Mazur, 1999 Nissim-Sabat, 1979). The current project was designed to counter this disturbing trend in some small way, by developing a multimedia tool designed to enhance course lecture and reading related to one widely-used psychological instrument, the MMPI-2. Psychologists working and researching in assessment are reporting concern about an unfortunate trend toward decreasing levels of skill and interest among contemporary graduate psychology students in this important specialty area (Anastasi, 1993 Kurtz, 2006 Weiner, 2006). The ability to administer and interpret psychological assessment instruments represents one of the core skills distinguishing psychologists from other mental health professionals.
