From the Paper:

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory 2 (MMPI-2) is a widely used tool to assess personality (Pearson Assessments). It is used in applications as diverse as assessing symptoms of social and personal maladjustment, discerning whether people are suitable for high-risk public safety positions, and to support decisions regarding classification and treatment in the criminal justice system (Pearson Assessments). Fundamentally, both the MMPI and the MMPI-2 were created to make comprehensive assessments of a range of personality characteristics and psychiatric syndromes exhibited by people with various psychological disorders (Harrington and Mcdermott).
