MMPI Personality Assessment

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is a 567-item standardized self-report inventory designed to assess personality traits, psychopathology, and behavioral tendencies in adults. Originally published in 1943 and revised as the MMPI-2 in 1989 and the MMPI-2-RF in 2008, the MMPI remains the most widely used and researched objective personality assessment instrument in clinical, forensic, and industrial settings.
