Overall Development Assessment: What It Measures and How to Read Your Score
This overall assessment is the most complete evaluation in our personal development programme. It explores 11 essential dimensions of your inner and relational life: self-esteem, self-confidence, communication, emotion management, resilience, motivation, leadership, life balance, creativity, spirituality and your readiness to change. With 63 carefully designed questions, this assessment offers you a detailed map of your strengths, your comfort zones and your priority areas for development. It is the ideal starting point for in-depth personal transformation work. You can also discuss this in Psy Lounge, a voice space run by a CBT-trained AI.
In the article that follows, I explore the big personality traits. If you recognise yourself in this theme, I designed a Big Five (OCEAN) test that helps you take stock of your five main personality traits. It comes with a guide to extend your reflection beyond the results. I also wrote a book on this subject, Your Thoughts Don’t Have to Run Your Life, if you would like to go further.
