Question

Jodhpur Multiphasic Personality Inventory (JMPI) was developed by:

• A. Chaudhury and Joshi
• B. Mallick and Joshi
• C. Uma Chaudhury
• D. Mohsin and Mehta

Hint:

Think of the two Jodhpur authors, Mallick and Joshi.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
The JMPI is an Indian self-report personality test. It follows the style of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory but was built for Indian users. The question asks who built it.

Step 2: Recall the authors.
The Jodhpur Multiphasic Personality Inventory was made by Mallick and Joshi, who worked at Jodhpur.

Step 3: Check option (1) Chaudhury and Joshi.
This pairing is wrong. Joshi is right, but the first author is not Chaudhury. Option 1 is wrong.

Step 4: Check option (2) Mallick and Joshi.
This is the correct pair. Option 2 is right.

Step 5: Check option (3) Uma Chaudhury.
A single name does not match, since the test was built by two authors. Option 3 is wrong.

Step 6: Check option (4) Mohsin and Mehta.
These two names are linked with other Indian scales, not with the JMPI. Option 4 is wrong.

Final Answer:
JMPI was developed by Mallick and Joshi, option 2.\[ \boxed{\text{2}} \]
