The Complete Automation of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and a Study of Its Response Latency.

Abstract

The purpose of the research study was twofold: to test the feasibility of completely automating the Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory (MMPI) and to compare item response latencies with other MMPI item characteristics. A total of 26 scales was scored automatically for 165 Ss. The program also typed a Mayo Clinic interpretive report on a terminal, seconds after the S had completed the MMPI. For the entire MMPI item pool, separate stepwise regression analyses were made for males and females. The number of characters in an item accounted for 47% to 58% of the latency variance. (Author)
