Scales (MMPI Scales)

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) uses various scales to assess personality traits and mental health conditions. These scales measure different aspects of psychological functioning, such as emotional stability, social interactions, and potential psychopathology. Each scale evaluates responses to questions, helping professionals understand an individual’s personality patterns or possible psychological issues. By interpreting these scales, clinicians can gain insights into a person's behavior, predict how they might respond in different situations, and guide treatment plans effectively. In essence, the MMPI scales serve as a structured tool for understanding complex human behavior and mental health.
