Abstract
The most widely used personality inventory, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), has been revised and expanded to address more contemporary problem areas. The MMPI-2 has a growing research ba se for counseling settings. This article highlights the application of the MMPI-2 in college counseling, couples counseling, medical problem assessment, military applications, personnel screening programs, and its use as a measure for psychopathology research with normal-range po pulations, such as samples of older individuals.
