Morphology
self-report + inventory
The meaning is transparently compositional: 'self-report' = a report about oneself and 'inventory' = a list or assessment, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer it is a questionnaire/list of self-reports used for assessment. This is a regular noun-noun combination common across languages and follows predictable English compounding patterns.
Etymology
The noun self-report inventory comes from a simple idea: self means you, report means to tell, and inventory means a list or checklist. So a self-report inventory is a list of questions where you answer about yourself, which is why it means a test that asks people 'about their own traits, behaviors, or choices'.
