Document Summary
Personality assessment personality assessments are used in research as well as the clinical field. Provide expert evaluations of character of another person. Will be covering widely used tests, mainly clinical. This is what you want from air traffic controllers. Employers may be interested in if you work best independently or in groups. Personality factors differ among people and are strong predictors of success in a given occupation. Knowing people character structure is very important to placing them in a career. Any theoretical construct has to be measurable. Theories are only as good as the ability to measure them. I. e. even if you have the greatest idea about self-esteem, if it cannot be measured, you cannot make inferences: significant differences between people or low and high esteem, its interaction with other factors. Thus personality measurement is very important in personality research.
