Personality Assessment

Personality Assessment is a form of psychological assessment that systematically measures and evaluates relatively enduring patterns of cognition, emotion, and behavior—typically through standardized tests, rating scales, structured interviews, and observational methods—in order to characterize individual differences in personality functioning and to inform diagnosis, counseling, and vocational or treatment planning.
