Assessment is based on the assumption that each individual differs from another in
regard to the personality traits. Even if they possess the same traits their behaviour
will vary in terms of their experiences to different situations and thus a personality
assessment will make this very clear as to what actually contributes to this difference and what are typical of a particular person’s personality.
A distinctive feature of personality assessment is the scientific approach to personality measurement . That is how the human characteristics are described quantitatively and qualitatively. The assessment also throws light on how many traits are present and which of these is dominant and which one acts negatively creating problems to the adjustment of the individual.
The sophisticated assessment and measurement of personality of an individual
depends on the use of a variety of concepts to provide trait definitions and entails
the application of various methods of observation and evaluation.
Personality assessment serves two purposes – theoretical and practical. Theoretically personality assessment provides knowledge about different dimensions and aspects of personality development and provides information about its nature. It provides impetus to research on personality and help develop new theories about personality.
Practical purposes of personality assessment is to know the strength and weaknesses
of a person. It tells which traits in a person are lacking and what are its implications
for his adjustment with the environment? It provides help in developing intervention program for persons who need help to overcome some of their personality based difficulties. For example, if a person is extremely shy and refuses to move with others even though in all other aspects the person behaves well, it would be worth the while to know what is it in the person that makes the person so shy that the individual avoids all relationships.
