2. WHY PERSONALITY AND SKILLS ASSESSMENTS
Students become inspired as understanding of their skills, strengths and potential helps them learn to accept themselves and others in a positive way. This self-knowledge leads to better performance in academics, and reveals healthy strategies for managing their behavior and reducing conflicts in relationships. The theory of psychological personality type is about the development of a healthy personality. Results provide students with new awareness of their strengths and stretches, and the differences they might have with friends, teachers and parents. In addition to being a fun exploration of personality type, the Choices360 experience yields better self-management and gives students valuable tools for personal growth and lifelong learning.
