摘要
This article provides a review of the literature to determine the most frequently used personality tests. Based on this review, internal consistency and test-retest reliability coefficients from the test manuals for the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III), and Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) are reported. A summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the reliability estimates for each of the tests is provided.
