The MMPI is an example of a

A) projective test.
B) personality inventory.
C) factor analytic test.
D) self-esteem test.

The MMPI, or Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, is a personality inventory. It consists of a series of true/false questions that assess a wide range of personality characteristics and psychological disorders. The test is scored based on standardized norms, allowing for comparisons to be made between individuals. The MMPI is not a projective test, which requires individuals to interpret ambiguous stimuli, nor is it a self-esteem test, which specifically measures self-esteem. While factor analysis has been used in the development and interpretation of the MMPI, it is not considered a factor analytic test in itself.
