The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory
Captions available
The idea
The MMPI is a widely used self-report inventory developed for clinical assessment, with built-in scales detecting inconsistent or distorted responding.
In practice
Validity scales flag a profile in which the respondent endorsed almost no common human failings.
Where people slip
The MMPI is a clinical instrument requiring trained interpretation. It is not a personality description for general use.
