MMPI Testing for Security Guard Applicants in Houston

MMPI Testing Virtual and In-Person Options Available for Houston and Texas Residents

Are you applying to become a licensed security officer in Texas? If so, you may have been informed that you need to complete MMPI psychological testing as part of your licensing process with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). At Sage Supportive Services, we provide convenient, professional MMPI testing in Houston—either in-person or online—to meet your licensing requirements with ease.

What Is the MMPI?

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-3) is a standardized psychological assessment tool used to evaluate an individual’s emotional and psychological stability. The Texas DPS requires this testing to ensure that applicants for positions like Level III Commissioned Security Officers are mentally fit to safely carry out duties involving public safety, firearms, and crisis situations.

The MMPI measures a range of factors, including:

• Emotional functioning

• Personality traits

• Impulse control

• Stress tolerance

• Potential risk factors for safety-sensitive positions

This isn’t a “pass/fail” test—but it is interpreted by a licensed psychologist to determine whether you meet the psychological standards set by the state.

Why Is MMPI Testing Required for Security Officers?

Public safety roles involve high levels of responsibility, including working with weapons, interacting with the public, and responding to emergencies. That’s why the Texas Department of Public Safety mandates that applicants undergo psychological screening using the MMPI. This helps identify any mental health conditions or traits that might impair judgment, reliability, or safety.
