When most people think of Minnesota, they think of cold winters, Scandinavian heritage, “the state of hockey,” and so on, but when human resources professionals or mental health professionals nationwide think of Minnesota, they think of the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) (or maybe Hazelden?).
The MMPI has been a basic staple in the “reality check” medicine cabinet for about 80 years. If, however, the MMPI were available on-line for all to see, this could complicate or destroy its diagnostic power.
Interestingly, the media reports the U of M lawsuit was “filed” in district court in New York but, as of the time of this post, there is no such filing on PACER.
Apparently the offending publication has been withdrawn so the lawsuit of U of M and NCS Pearson (represented by Stuart Hemphill of Dorsey & Whitney LLP) may be short-lived.
