Assessment Analysis: Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory – 2

by Kevin L. Michel

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory – 2 (MMPI-2), was originally developed by Hathaway and McKinley in 1940. It is a standardized questionnaire comprised of 567 true-false options on self-descriptions. The assessment seeks to provide insight into the test subject’s psychopathology and personality. This work considers several aspects of the MMPI-2, including its administration, the normed group, reliability, validity, the information the inventory provides, the cut scores, cultural concerns, ethical issues in test administration, methods of interpreting and communicating results, and the ethical presentation of results to client. Sources are provided for further research. This work is useful to the student of psychology who seeks a brief analysis of these elements of the MMPI-2 as a primer for further research.
