The MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2) is an objective personality test that assesses a wide range of attitudes and emotions. It is commonly used in clinical settings to diagnose mental health disorders and can help the psychologist understand Harry's personality and the root cause of his depression. The other tests listed (TAT, 16PF, and Rorschach) are projective tests that rely on subjective interpretation and are less reliable for diagnosing mental health disorders.
