What is mmpi?
MMPI stands for the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. It is a testing favourite of mental health practitioners who use it in identifying an individual's personality features. Developed in the 1930s by Starke Hathaway and J.C. McKinley, it was designed to seek out and identify pathologies. The novelty of the MMPI lay in the fact that it was not designed with any particular personality theory in mind. The University of Minnesota holds the copyright to the test, and thus, the 'Minnesota' in MMPI, and it has been revised and standardized over the years. The latest revision was developed and released in 2003 (ver. MMPI-2 RF). There is even a test for juveniles which was released in 1992 (ver. MMPI-A). While it is quite popular with mental health professionals, it is not without its detractors who claim it has the potential to unfairly label individuals.
