The MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) is an objective personality test that is commonly used to assess psychopathology and other personality disorders. It is designed to uncover underlying attitudes, beliefs, and personality traits that may be contributing to a patient's mental health issues. This would be an appropriate test to administer in Harry's case as it would gather information about him in an objective manner without requiring him to divulge his life story.
