In the past educationalists, career counselors, marriage counselors, clinical psychologists and job interviewers, have attempted to assess the human personality and a great deal of research time and effort has been invested in creating useful personality tests. The two principal kinds that are used are projective tests, which need to be interpreted subjectively by an expert and the second one are the personality questionnaires or “inventories,” which, when once developed by an expert, can be scored objectively by anyone. The latter are the most common method, and probably the most accurate. They are the only test that can be used in self-assessment. Take this personality test that has been coined by educationalist , MS Namrata Khona Samra. PERSONALITY QUESTIONNAIRE This personality test has three scales, with 10 questions in each scale.
