Get to Know Yourself. Understand Your Patterns. Find Your Way.

We all have a unique personality—shaped by our experiences, biology, environment and relationships. When you’re trying to make sense of how you think, feel or relate to others personality testing can give you insight. Whether you’re struggling with identity, seeking diagnostic clarity or just want to understand your inner world personality testing offers a structured, evidence based way to uncover your strengths, weaknesses and patterns of behaviour.

At Tranquil Awakenings Counseling Center, we offer compassionate and comprehensive personality assessments in Bloomfield Hills, MI for adolescents and adults who want to know themselves and grow with intention.

What is Personality Testing?

Personality testing is a psychological evaluation process that explores how an individual typically thinks, feels, behaves and interacts with others. It’s often used to:

  • Clarify diagnoses related to mood, trauma or personality
  • Understand relationship or communication struggles
  • Explore identity, emotional triggers and coping styles
  • Identify traits or patterns that may interfere with functioning or personal goals
  • Support therapy planning or clinical treatment
  • Give insight into self-perception, boundaries and values

Our assessments go beyond surface level “personality quizzes”. We use validated clinical tools to help you get a deeper understanding of your internal landscape and how it impacts your life.

When to Consider Personality Testing

You may benefit from a personality evaluation if:

  • You experience frequent or intense mood swings, emotional reactivity or sensitivity to rejection
  • You struggle with interpersonal relationships, attachment or trust
  • You have a history of trauma, identity confusion or self-image issues
  • You feel like your thoughts or emotions are hard to manage or predict
  • You experience impulsivity, risk taking behaviours or emotional numbness
  • You have difficulty setting or respecting personal boundaries
  • You’re already in therapy and want more insight into your personality structure
  • You suspect you may have a personality disorder or complex trauma history

Testing can also help when symptoms overlap—such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD and personality traits—making diagnosis and treatment planning more complex.

What We Assess

Our personality evaluations in Bloomfield Hills, MI look at:

  • Core personality traits (e.g. introversion/extroversion, emotional stability, openness)
  • Interpersonal style (e.g. boundaries, assertiveness, dependency)
  • Self concept and self esteem* Emotion regulation and impulse control
  • Patterns of thought and belief
  • Attachment styles and trauma related responses
  • Symptoms related to personality disorders (e.g. borderline, avoidant, narcissistic, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, etc.)

We use structured interviews, self-report questionnaires and projective tools (as appropriate) to get a well rounded understanding of your personality profile.

What to Expect

Our personality testing process is collaborative, affirming and trauma informed. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Intake & Interview

We start with an in-depth clinical interview to gather personal history, current concerns and goals for the evaluation.

2. Standardized Testing

You’ll complete a variety of self-report inventories, rating scales and/or projective measures such as:

  • MMPI-2 or MMPI-3 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory)
  • PAI (Personality Assessment Inventory)
  • MCMI (Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory)
  • Beck inventories (for depression, anxiety, hopelessness)
  • Sentence completion or drawing tasks (when applicable)

We choose tools based on your needs and clinical questions—not a one size fits all approach.

3. Scoring & Interpretation

Our clinicians will analyze your results holistically, looking at trends, contradictions and clinical relevance—not just individual scores.

4. Feedback Session

We’ll meet with you to discuss findings in an honest but compassionate way. You’ll have the chance to ask questions and reflect.

5. Written Report

You’ll receive a comprehensive report including your profile, diagnostic impressions (if applicable) and tailored recommendations for therapy, wellness or personal growth.

Our Approach

We know personality is complex—and human. Our evaluations are:

  • Judgment free: We’re here to help you understand yourself, not label you.
  • Trauma informed: We account for how trauma may have shaped personality and identity.
  • Culturally responsive: We consider the impact of culture, race, gender, neurodiversity and environment on development.
  • Empowering: Our goal is to give you insight that leads to self compassion, growth and better relationships.

Whether you’re facing life transitions, relationship challenges or long standing questions about your identity, personality testing can give you clarity.

What’s Next?

After your evaluation you may choose to:* Start or continue therapy with more direction

  • Use the report for a treatment team (therapist, psychiatrist, coach)
  • Share with your healthcare provider or lawyer, if needed
  • Use for career, relationship or personal growth goals
  • Additional assessment if co-occurring conditions are found

We can work with other providers if requested.
