Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) is a standardized psychometric test of adult personality and psychopathology. It is widely used and considered to have high validity and reliability among psychological assessment tools. The Rorschach Inkblot Test, tests using doll play, and clinical observations and interviews are more subjective and can vary significantly in interpretation and outcomes, making them less reliable and valid compared to the standardized and empirically validated MMPI.
