Can the MMPI or MMPI-2 Test be taken for free online?
No. The MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) is one of the great “grand-daddy” psychological tests. It is given only under certain conditions for specific reasons, usually by a clinical psychologist, sometimes a psychiatrist, in a clinical or mental-health center setting. To make it available to the general public, for example on line or in the Sunday newspaper, would be self-defeating, in that it would lose two central features of all such tests: validity and reliability. More to the point, however the MMPI is a highly complicated test instrument and cannot be scored or interpreted by anyone other than those trained in it. It is not a single test of personality, but actually a collection of many tests, and the individual items can be re-arranged (using specific guidelines) into many sub-tests which give insights into various personality problems and disorders. In general, you can believe that ANY such test — IQ, personality, psychological — offered on-line is worthless
