The history of MHS is rooted in a vision to revolutionize how psychological evaluation is conducted. Founded in 1983 by Dr. Steven Stein, a clinical psychologist, in collaboration with his wife and business partner, Rodeen Stein, the venture started in the basement of their house and aimed at modernizing the entire process of psychological evaluation. Dr. Stein identified early on the problem of low response rates and inefficiency associated with paper test formats. The vision of developing computer-based software for conducting psychological tests inspired MHS to become a pioneering company in computerized evaluations. MHS gained a great deal of recognition when it published the Conners Rating Scales in 1990.

MHS offers its services by developing strong multi-channel networks and vertical divisions. The channels interact to connect with specialized practitioners, corporations, governments, and academia around the world. Using direct enterprise relationships, software platforms, global distributors, and education collaborations, MHS makes sure that its tests can be accessed easily from anywhere. In order to offer specific expertise in certain industries, MHS creates separate divisions for them while utilizing a common platform for data security, psychometrics, and digital testing.

Clinical and Educational Assessment Solutions

In clinical psychology and educational sectors, MHS has created various assessment instruments that can be used to diagnose or develop the skills of people dealing with behavior, emotional, and cognitive problems. The flagship Conners suite of assessments is still used by professionals in the field to diagnose Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and associated behavioral problems in children and teenagers. Furthermore, MHS has created various measures for evaluating autism, executive functioning, anxiety, depression, and speech-language problems.

Talent Assessment and Corporate Leadership Development

In the business environment, MHS offers executive talent management, recruitment, and leadership development services designed to enhance the performance of the organization. Among the most important elements of the division is the Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i 2.0) which is considered to be one of the most used tests of emotional intelligence. These are the tools of the MHS that organizations use to measure some critical competencies like resilience, decision-making, interpersonal communication, and leadership. Using the behavioral data and transforming it into a report, organizations can enhance their hiring process, conduct executive coaching, team building, and develop leaders.

Public Safety, Public Sector, and Forensic Assessments

MHS products target law enforcement organizations, correctional institutions, military units, and other public safety organizations to offer them highly advanced and customized risk and needs assessment services. These tools help public safety experts in assessing the level of risk associated with offenders, making predictions of the chances of their re-offending, and in parole and rehabilitation planning. The MHS candidate selection inventories in the law enforcement environment help in selecting those officers who have the necessary emotional stability and decision-making skills.

Digital Assessment Platforms and Integrated Software Systems

Underpinning all of its product verticals is MHS’s investment in modern digital assessment platforms and enterprise software integrations. MHS has gone way past the stage where there was just manual testing on paper with pencil and now provides secure cloud-based portals that enable the administration of tests in an online manner, provision of automatic reports in addition to longitudinal tracking of participants' data. All of these tools have been designed with high levels of security and digital trust.
