Psychologists and other mental health professionals use various versions of the MMPI to help develop treatment plans; assist with differential diagnosis; help answer legal questions (forensic psychology); screen job candidates during the personnel selection process; or as part of a therapeutic assessment procedure . </P> <P> The original MMPI was developed by Starke R. Hathaway and J.C. McKinley, faculty of the University of Minnesota, and first published by the University of Minnesota Press in 1943 . It was replaced by an updated version, the MMPI - 2, in 1989 . A version for adolescents, the MMPI - A, was published in 1992 . An alternative version of the test, the MMPI - 2 Restructured Form (MMPI - 2 - RF), published in 2008, retains some aspects of the traditional MMPI assessment strategy, but adopts a different theoretical approach to personality test development . </P>
