Personality testing allows individuals a closer look at the unique set of attributes that define a person's character. By understanding how we respond to our environment, we are better suited to deal with less than desirable situations when they present themselves.

 

Many personality inventories look at an individual's personal preferences for interacting in or engaging with the social world. Many current personality inventories incorporate aspects of mood, motivation, dysfunctional relationships patterns, and proclivity towards certain behaviors. When used as part of a comprehensive evaluation, personality tests are a highly reliable and useful source of information.
