Personality Tests & Assessments & Expert Recommendations

Leonard Evaluation's Personality Tests & and Assessments

Comprehensive Assessments for Self-Awareness, Diagnostic Clarity & Treatment Planning.  Are you or someone you care about struggling with mood swings, relationship difficulties, chronic self-doubt, impulsivity, or identity-related challenges? Have prior therapies or supports been unhelpful or incomplete—without a clear understanding of what’s driving certain emotional or behavioral patterns?  A personality evaluation offers deep insight into how a person thinks, feels, and relates to the world around them. These evaluations are often sought for diagnostic clarification, therapy planning, self-exploration, or to inform treatment for complex emotional or behavioral concerns.


🔍 What’s Included in a Personality Evaluation

We offer in-depth personality assessments for adolescents, college students, and adults seeking to better understand their emotional functioning, interpersonal style, and psychological profile. These evaluations integrate multiple sources of data to provide a nuanced and individualized understanding.  Each personality evaluation may include:

  • Clinical interviews (with collateral interviews if appropriate)
  • Personality inventories (e.g., MMPI-2-RF, MMPI-A-RF, PAI, MCMI-IV, MACI-II)
  • Projective and narrative-based techniques (e.g., Sentence Completion, Rorschach when indicated)
  • Emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal functioning checklists
  • Screening for co-occurring mood, trauma, or neurodevelopmental conditions
  • Review of prior therapy notes, medical records, or school history
  • Integration of historical, environmental, and current functioning data

Evaluations are tailored to the referral question—whether for therapy guidance, differential diagnosis, legal/forensic needs, or personal insight.


🧠 Benefits of Personality Testing

Personality is the foundation of how we experience the world, form relationships, regulate emotions, and manage stress. When challenges emerge—especially those that are chronic, misunderstood, or resistant to prior interventions—a personality evaluation can offer a powerful turning point.  Our evaluations provide:

  • Clarity on underlying personality dynamics and psychological patterns
  • Distinction between mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and personality pathology
  • Insight into emotional regulation, interpersonal style, defense mechanisms, and thought patterns
  • Therapeutic guidance tailored to the individual’s psychological makeup
  • Validation and self-awareness that can enhance treatment, relationships, and life choices
  • Recommendations for therapeutic fit (e.g., CBT vs. psychodynamic vs. DBT), treatment intensity, and long-term support planning

Rather than labeling, personality evaluations aim to illuminate—offering a deeper understanding of both strengths and vulnerabilities, and a more strategic path forward.
