Personality Test Generates Anxiety and Depression at U. of Minnesota

The University of Minnesota Press, which publishes the test, was faulted by its parent university in 2007 for “relying on an advisory board that consisted entirely of two scientists … who co-wrote the new test and stand to profit from its sales.”
