Personality Assessment Q&A
What is a personality assessment?
A personality assessment is a structured evaluation used in mental health care. It evaluates your distinct personality traits, characteristics, and behavioral patterns. April and her team conduct these assessments to better understand your unique personality and how it influences your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
By integrating the results of a personality assessment into an overall mental health evaluation, April and her team can better grasp your psychological makeup. This understanding enables them to tailor their treatment approach to meet your specific needs, ultimately leading to more effective, personalized mental health care.
What can a personality assessment reveal?
A personality assessment can reveal many insights into your personality traits, characteristics, and behavioral patterns. The key revelations that can come from a personality assessment include:

Cognitive preferences
