Later on, Eysenck added a third dimension, called psychoticism. These dimensions are characterised by 32 personality traits. Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) :- Developed by Eysenck this test initially assessed two dimensions of personality, called introverted-extraverted and emotionally stable-emotionally unstable. In India, Mallick and Joshi have developed the Jodhpur Multiphasic Personality Inventory (JMPI) along the lines of MMPI.Ģ. The test is divided into 10 subscales, which seek to diagnose hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria, psychopathic deviate, masculinity-femininity, paranoia, psychasthenia, schizophrenia, mania and social introversion. The subject has to judge each statement as ‘true’ or ‘false’ for her/him.
Its revised version is available as MMPI-2. Hathaway and McKinley developed this test as a helping tool for psychiatric diagnosis, but the test has been found very effective in identifying varieties of psychopathology. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) :- This inventory is widely used as a test in personality assessment. The two most widely used structured personality tests are:-ġ. They are scored in quantitative terms and interpreted on the basis of norms developed for the test. The responses are accepted at their face value. The method requires the subject to objectively report her/his own feelings with respect to various items. These are fairly structured measures, often based on theory, that require subjects to give verbal responses using some kind of rating scale. This led to the use of self-report measures. This was used by Allport who suggested that the best method to assess a person is by asking her/him about herself/himself. Self-report measures is fairly structured personality test.
