Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI): By far the most common personality inventory is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, Version II, or MMPI 2, which specifically tests abnormal behaviour patterns in personality.

Key Points

• This questionnaire consists of 567 statements such as “I am very often tense”. The person taking the test must answer “true”, “false”, or “cannot say”.
• The MMPI has 10 clinical scales and 8 validity scales in addition to numerous subscales. Each scale tests for a particular kind of behaviour. The behaviour patterns include relatively mild personality problems such as excessive worrying and shyness as well as more serious disorders such as schizophrenia and depression.
• Responses to certain items on the test will indicate if people are trying to make themselves look better or worse than they are. 
  • for example, certain items are repeated throughout the test in a slightly different form, so that anyone trying to “fake” the test will have difficulty responding to those items consistently.
  • For example, if one of the statements is “ I am always very happy” and a person responds “true” to that statement, the suspicion would be that this person is trying to look better s\he really is. If several of the validity scale questions are answered in this way, the conclusion is that the person is not being honest.

Thus, MMPI examines personality traits such as sociability, self-control and responsibility and it is used primarily to identify and assess normal aspects of personality.
