A tool for computer-aided diagnosis of psychological disorders based on the MMPI test: An overview

Abstract

The goal of the paper is to summarize our research, conducted for over the last five years, on computer-aided diagnosis of patients screened with the MMPI (MinnesotaMultiphasic Personality Inventory) test. The MMPI test delivers psychometric data, in the form of the so-called profiles (thirteen descriptive attributes corresponding to three validity and ten clinical scales), enabling us to diagnose selected psychological disorders. The notable effect of conducted research is a new computer tool, called Copernicus, aiding diagnosis of psychological disorders based on MMPI profiles. The paper is focused on outlying the functionality of the created tool.
