Definition
- Personality assessment, in its broadest sense, includes any technique that is used to describe or make inferences about the characteristic traits, attitudes, beliefs, values, needs, motives, emotional states, coping styles, or aspirations of an individual. Personality assessment can take many forms, including an Internet dating questionnaire, an epitaph, a letter of recommendation, a psychodiagnosis, an integrity test administered as part of an employment application, and a psychobiography based on a historical record.
