The correct answer is option 2:To understand and predict behavior with minimal error and maximum accuracy The primary goal of personality assessment is to understand an individual’s unique pattern of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This understanding helps in predicting how a person is likely to behave in different situations, and the aim is to do this as accurately and reliably as possible. While judging behavior, diagnosing disorders, and providing therapy can involve personality assessments, those are not the primary goals—they are possible applications or uses of the assessment. |
