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.

How does the CPI differ from the MMPI?
The CPI (California Psychological Inventory) and the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) are both psychological assessments, but they serve different purposes. The CPI focuses on measuring interpersonal behavior and social interactions, assessing traits like dominance and sociability, and is often used in organizational settings. In contrast, the MMPI is primarily designed to identify psychological disorders and assess mental health, using a standardized format to evaluate various psychopathological conditions. Therefore, while the CPI emphasizes normal personality traits, the MMPI deals with abnormal psychological aspects.
