Since I received a request for it, I have created this thread about the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory test.
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is one of the most frequently used personality tests in mental health. The most recent version the "MMPI-2RF was developed by Dr. Auke Tellegen, from the University of Minnesota, and Dr. Yossef Ben-Porath, from Kent State University. The test is used by trained professionals to assist in identifying personality structure and psychopathology. Among its many uses, it is perhaps best known as the personality test that is used in conjunction with Secret and Top Secret security clearances required for many positions within United States federal agencies that incur an extensive responsibility for life and property, such as the Department of Defense, Central Intelligence Agency, and the Federal Aviation Administration.
Read more about it here: --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_M..._Inventory
There are currently two version of the test available:
MMPI-2 (long version) which has 567 question
MMPI-2-RF (short version) which has 338 questions
There are no right or wrong answers to the test.
Whatever you do, do not lie when answering the questions!
You are being thoroughly tested on the honesty and consistency of your responses.
On scoring, if the VRIN (Variable Response Inconsistency) score is 6 or higher, then the entire test result is invalid.
You can take either the long or short version of the test here: --> http://geisel.narod.ru/mmpi2.htm
The short version on the web site uses 370 questions, rather than just 338.
When you have completed all the questions, the web site will score it for you and display the result.
If you print it out afterwards, it will take around 19 printed pages for the full printout, with pages 1 - 13 for the questions, and pages 14 - 19 for the results.
The test scores are intended to be interpreted by mental health professionals.
Many of them will mean very little to you, since you will not have a normalized sample base to compare them to.
