Mmpi-2

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) is the most widely used standardized psychometric test for evaluating adult personality and psychopathology. First published in 1989 as a major revision of the original 1943 instrument, the MMPI-2 remains a cornerstone of psychological assessment due to its rigorous empirical foundation and ability to detect response bias.

The clinical scales were developed through "empirical criterion keying," where items were selected because they statistically distinguished specific clinical groups from a normative sample. Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) mmpi-2
