The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is a standardized psychological assessment tool used to evaluate mental health and personality structure. It consists of a series of true-or-false questions that help clinicians identify psychological conditions, emotional functioning, and behavioral tendencies. The MMPI is widely used in diagnosing mental disorders, planning treatment, and assessing individuals in various settings, including clinical therapy, legal cases, and occupational evaluations. It provides a comprehensive profile of a person’s psychological state, based on their responses, enabling more informed, evidence-based decision-making in mental health care.
