Personality Evaluations for Adults & Adolescents

​

Do you or someone you care about struggle with identity confusion, mood instability, impulsivity, relationship difficulties, or emotional regulation? Are you a therapist or psychiatrist seeking diagnostic clarification for a complex clinical picture? A personality evaluation can uncover deep-rooted patterns and offer clarity, structure, and guidance for personal growth or clinical treatment.

At Leonard Educational Evaluations, we offer in-depth personality assessments for adults, college students, and adolescents. Our evaluations are designed to identify personality traits, emotional functioning, and potential personality disorders, and are often used to guide therapy, psychiatric treatment, court decisions, and accommodations.

​

What Is a Personality Evaluation?

​

A personality evaluation is a structured clinical assessment that explores long-standing patterns in:

• Emotion regulation

• Interpersonal functioning

• Self-image and identity

• Thought processes

• Impulse control and coping strategies

• Responses to stress, trauma, and relationships

​

These evaluations may be used to:

​

• Diagnose or rule out personality disorders

• Clarify co-occurring concerns (e.g., ADHD, trauma, mood disorders)

• Assist therapists or psychiatrists with treatment planning

• Support legal cases or forensic referrals

• Document mental health for ADA accommodations or disability claims

• Provide personal insight for individuals seeking growth and self-understanding

​

What’s Included in a Personality Assessment

​

Our personality evaluations are confidential, evidence-based, and tailored to the referral question. A comprehensive assessment may include:

• Clinical interview exploring personal, medical, developmental, and psychosocial history

• Mental status exam and behavioral observations

• Standardized personality inventories,

• Emotional and behavioral rating scales (if applicable)

• Co-occurring condition screening (e.g., ADHD, PTSD, trauma history, learning issues)

• Optional collateral input from therapists or medical providers

• Detailed written report with diagnostic impressions (if applicable), narrative findings, and individualized recommendations

​

Reports are suitable for:

​

• Mental health treatment planning

• Psychiatric diagnostic clarification

• Disability documentation

• Forensic reports or court-mandated evaluations

• Educational or workplace accommodations

​

When Is a Personality Evaluation Recommended?

​

You may benefit from personality testing if:

• You’ve had chronic difficulties in relationships or identity

• You experience intense emotions, mood swings, or difficulty regulating anger

• You’ve been diagnosed with multiple conditions but still lack clarity

• Your therapist or psychiatrist has requested personality testing

• You suspect traits of Borderline, Narcissistic, Avoidant, or Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder

• You’re seeking increased self-understanding or personal growth

Whether you’re in crisis or in reflection, a structured personality evaluation can help you understand long-term patterns that shape your experiences.
