What is the primary purpose of personality assessment?

To understand the influence of the environment on behavior
To provide an accurate description of behavior
To provide an explanation for behavior
To predict future behavior

The correct answer is: To provide an accurate description of behavior

Personality assessment is primarily used to provide an accurate description of behavior. Option A is not the primary purpose as it focuses on the external factors influencing behavior rather than the individual's inherent traits. Option C is also not the primary purpose as it aims to provide an understanding of behavior rather than just a description. Option D is not the primary purpose as personality assessment does not have the ability to predict future behavior with absolute certainty. Ultimately, the main goal of personality assessment is to accurately describe an individual's behavioral tendencies and traits.
