The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was constructed at the University of Minnesota before and during World War II. In its developmental phase, the MMPI was conceptualized as an efficient way of detecting psychiatric disturbance. The test's construction was made possible by atypical cooperation between psychologists and psychiatrists, within the context of a crisis in the U.S. public mental health care system. The MMPI was designed to meet the diagnostic needs of psychiatrists. As such, it represented the operationalization of medical hegemony. However, the interpretation of the MMPI shifted significantly after the war, reflecting organizational reform in clinical psychology and changing professional relationships between psychologists and psychiatrists.
明尼苏达多相人格测验（MMPI）是在第二次世界大战之前及期间于明尼苏达大学编制而成的。在其发展阶段，MMPI被视为一种检测精神障碍的有效方式。在美国公共精神卫生保健系统危机的背景下，心理学家与精神科医生之间的非典型合作使得该测验的编制成为可能。MMPI旨在满足精神科医生的诊断需求。因此，它代表了医学霸权的操作化。然而，战后MMPI的解释发生了显著变化，反映了临床心理学的组织改革以及心理学家与精神科医生之间不断变化的专业关系。
