Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is a widely used psychological assessment tool designed to evaluate personality traits and mental health conditions. It consists of a series of statements to which individuals respond with "true" or "false." The results help psychologists understand a person's psychological state, identify potential disorders, and inform treatment strategies. Because of its rigorous development and validation, the MMPI is considered one of the most reliable and comprehensive instruments in personality assessment, often used in clinical settings, employment screenings, and legal evaluations.
