### **Overview** The **Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent (MMPI-A)** is a psychological assessment tool designed to evaluate the emotional and behavioral functioning of adolescents aged 14 to 18. Modeled after the adult MMPI, the MMPI-A assesses a wide range of psychological conditions, including anxiety, depression, and conduct problems, offering a comprehensive view of an adolescent’s mental health and personality. ### **Applications** The MMPI-A is commonly used in clinical, school, and forensic settings to assess adolescent psychopathology. It helps clinicians diagnose mental health disorders, guide treatment planning, and provide insights into behavioral issues that may impact the adolescent's personal, academic, or social life. The MMPI-A is also used to assess suitability for certain roles in forensic or legal contexts. #Psychological-Test
