The psychodynamic theory of personality assessment is a psychological approach to personality assessment that is based o the measurements of the coconscious thoughts, feelings, and motives of a human being. Additionally, it measures conflicts by the projective tests and personal interview methods. These assessments are generally made by the establishment of general criteria that ensures reliable and valid measurements; the information gathered is used in areas like education and clinical researches et cetera.

A theory that approaches the personality assessments is the Humanistic theory. This theory uses objective test and personal interviews that assess each human’s personalities. The trait theory believes that the root of one’s personality is in relation to some dispositions within each individual’s and that they are responsible for a various amount of personalities like in the way that some of us think, feel, and even act. This theory makes use of objective test that are ways to analyze and make some of us get better grades on test that we may have to take. The fourth theory is a social theory that is concerned with the past events, reinforcement, and punishment. It makes great use of interviews, observations, and objective tests.

I found this test to be objective; mostly these types of test can be accurate although there could be some dangers in classifying some by types on four different parameters. In some cases, individuals could score evenly throughout the entire test, and there are others who could be dramatically different all the way across the board.

The results of my test are as follows: In bold text you will find the one’s that I agree with, and in regular text are the ones that are questionable to me.
