Morphology
A learner who knows 'personality' and 'inventory' can reasonably infer this refers to a list or record related to personality (e.g., an inventory of traits), so the general idea is partly transparent. However, the specific technical sense of a standardized questionnaire/assessment used to evaluate personality is specialized and not fully predictable from the constituents, so it is not fully transparent.
Etymology
The phrase personality inventory comes from the word inventory, which once meant a shopkeeper's 'list' of goods, so imagine that 'list' but filled with a person's qualities. So a personality inventory is a 'questionnaire' that lists and checks a person's 'traits'.
