John Charnley McKinley (November 8, 1891 - January 3, 1950) was an American neurologist who co-authored the psychological assessment known as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). He was educated at the University of Minnesota, where he spent almost all of his academic career. ==Biography== McKinley was born on November 8, 1891 in Duluth, Minnesota. Throughout his education and his career in academia, he spent almost all of that time at the University of Minnesota. He graduated from medical school there in 1919 and later earned a PhD.〔 He was the university's first full-time faculty member who specialized in neurology.〔Dyken, Mark L. (''Giants of Neurology'' ).

American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.〕 In 1928, McKinley received a Guggenheim Fellowship to study medicine at the University of Breslau in Germany. Spending a year in Germany, he used electromyography to quantitatively study human muscle tonus in human subjects.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gf.org/fellows/9744-john-charnley-mckinley )〕 With his Minnesota colleague Starke R. Hathaway, he created the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), which was first published in 1943. Originally, Hathaway and McKinley intended that the test would detect the personality characteristics associated with psychiatric disability. However, the test has also been widely employed with normal populations as well. McKinley suffered a stroke in 1946. He died on January 3, 1950.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「J.
