physicians, clinicians and other
agencies to obtain knowledge about a
person’s emotional status and adaptive
functioning. Evaluations assist with
diagnosis, treatment planning and
monitoring client’s progress.
Assessment tools used, depend on the
presenting problems, but may
incorporate a clinical interview,
intelligence testing, personality
assessment, and emotional and behavior
scales.

4. Career Planning, Career Performance and
Team Building
Piedmont Performance Evaluations can
provide students, as early as middle
school, with career paths which are
suited to their personality-to make
learning more individualized and
enjoyable! These evaluations include
a
personality
assessment geared toward school
performance
as well as other interest inventories.
For adults, work is most productive when job competencies correspond with their natural personality traits. Personality assessment for the workplace and interest inventories can help explore possibilities for career paths, and give direction for career transitions.
For businesses, assessments can assist with selection for various workplace positions. Team building workshops can also increase effective communication, improve productivity, reduce conflict within the team, and with clients, provide improved ability to influence others and lead to an appreciation for personality diversity.
