MINNESOTA Multiphasic Personality Inventory.In addition, the interpretation of both objective and projective test data is “a highly subjective art which requires a well-trained and experienced practitioner to give such ‘scores’ predictive meaning in the life of any given human being” (Matarazzo, 1972, p. Both kinds of tests have as a primary goal the prediction of important nontest behavior of examinees. While much has been written about the differences between projective and objective techniques, the two categories of tests probably are more alike than different. In contrast to projective techniques such as the Rorschach and Thematic Apperception Test, which have ambiguous stimuli and unstructured response formats, the nonambiguous stimuli (self-reference statements) and structured response format (true/false) of the MMPI qualify it for classification as an objective technique. The MMPI deserves inclusion in this volume because it is the most widely used personality inventory in the United States (Lubin, Wallis, & Paine, 1971).
