What is Personality?
Personality includes the affects, behaviors, and cognition of people that characterize them in a variety of situations over time.
Personality assessment has three goals.
- Diagnosis
- Theory building
- Behavioral prediction
These goals often interact. A Clinical diagnosis made in the context of same theoretical approach, is often used to predict possible outcomes, such as which therapy is most appropriate for a given patient.
BEHAVIORAL PREDICTION:
My purpose of developing this site surrounds this goal. This involves the extent to which knowledge of personality traits can be used to predict some target behaviors. This concern is a practical one particularly in vocational placement. For example, if we know that Ahmad is dominant and extroverted, what does that knowledge tell us about his leadership potential? Or the likelihood that he will succeed as a sales manager? For that matter, what personality traits best describe a successful astronaut, police officer, or a secretary?
A comprehensive assessment of many different aspects of functioning is required to predict a personality.
Through a comprehensive evaluation, I can interpret how your problem came about and where is its remedy.
