How did psychologists determine which items to include on the MMPI?
What will be an ideal response?
They started with a long list of possible true-false items and asked various types of people to answer them. Then they identified all the items that, on average, people with certain disorders answered differently from other people. Each of those items became part of the scale to measure that personality disorder.
