Document Summary

A particular pattern of behaviour and thinking that prevails across time and situations and differentiates one person from another. The minnesota multiphasic inventory (mmpi-2) is an objective personality test that asks people to answer a series of true/false questions about themselves. The neo personality inventory (n, e, and o stand for neuroticism, extroversion, and openness to experience) is also an objective test that measures personality factors. The neo provides a series of statements that a person agrees or disagrees with on a five-point scale. Neo-pi-3, measures five factors and is based on the five-factor model, which we will discuss later. The rorschach test is undoubtedly the best-known projective test. A series of inkblots is presented, and the person describes what he or she sees in the inkblot. It"s called a projective test because the person may project his or her personality onto the inkblot.
