Personality describes the unique patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that distinguish a person from others. A product of both biology and environment, it remains fairly consistent throughout life.

Examples of personality can be found in how we describe other people's traits. For instance, "She is generous, caring, and a bit of a perfectionist," or "They are loyal and protective of their friends."
The word "personality" stems from the Latin word persona, which refers to a theatrical mask worn by performers to play roles or disguise their identities.

Although there are many definitions of personality, most focus on the pattern of behaviours and characteristics that can help predict and explain a person's behaviour.

Explanations for personality can focus on a variety of influences, ranging from genetic effects to the role of the environment and experience in shaping an individual's personality.

Our thinking influences everything we do. Our thinking preferences have an impact on how we communicate, make decisions, solve problems and build relationships. Understanding your thinking preferences will give you a new perspective of yourself and the people you deal with every day.

Most examinations aim at testing the capability of a student, but never get to access the mental makeup of a person. Psychometric assessments aim to provide more information about the possible capacity of an individual, as well as information about personality and interests.
If done correctly, assessments can provide insightful information regarding the compatibility of an individual to a particular field of study. Personality, ability, and interests plays a significant role in job satisfaction. It is therefore valuable to put in the effort in getting to know yourself better when choosing a career field.

A lot of people think that psychometric assessments are used for recruitment and hiring purposes alone. Although psychometric assessments are useful tools in the recruitment process, they can also add great value in other areas of life.

The information that psychometric assessments provide can serve as great development and guideline tools. Here are some examples:

I had the privilege to hang out with some amazing and very smart kids. We talked about emotional intelligence. I have so much hope for our future generation.

Developing emotional intelligence enables us to manage emotions effectively and avoid being derailed. Children with higher emotional intelligence are better able to pay attention, are more engaged in school, have more positive relationships, and are more empathic.
