It was necessary to carry out a psychometric analysis of the questionnaire in order to check the reliability, coherence, and internal and external validity of the technique. One of our objectives was to compare the results of the above-mentioned study with those obtained almost 10 years later.

So we were curious to find out what our results in 2009 would be. In particular, one of the most convincing studies was carried out by Shmelev in 2000 (Shmelev, 2002) on a sample of 766 people (students of Moscow colleges and universities). From our point of view, these methods look most suitable for modeling the psychological reality measured by the MMPI. Attempts to apply factor and cluster analyses of MMIL points have been undertaken previously. The question of how test points are structured is also important as features of this structure reflect the psychological reality that the test is expected to measure.

The first MMIL version consisted of 384 statements by Berezin & Miroshnikov in 1967.
