Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2)

#artificialintelligence

The original Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was published in 1940 and the second revised version--the MMPI-2--was published in 1989. It is the most widely used psychometric test for measuring adult psychopathology in the world. The MMPI-2 is used in mental health, medical and employment settings. The test developers Hathaway and McKinley used an empirical test construction technique to develop the MMPI. This involved basing the test scales (for example the hypochondriasis scale) on the actual test items that differentiate people with hypochondriasis from'normals'.
