Question: 1 / 400

What is the MMPI primarily used for?

Assessing personality type

Assessing psychopathology

The MMPI, or Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, was specifically designed to assess psychopathology, or mental health disorders. While it does involve measuring personality traits, its main purpose is to diagnose and assess various mental health conditions. Options A, C, and D may also be used for these purposes but are not the primary use of the MMPI. For example, personality types can be assessed using other standardized tests such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Intelligence can be measured using IQ tests. And the severity of depression can be evaluated with specific depression scales, such as the Beck Depression Inventory. Therefore, the best answer is B, as the MMPI is primarily used for assessing psychopathology.
