🔎 Personality is understood as the relatively stable internal and external aspects that influence people's behavior in different situations.

🤔Therefore, when one wants to analyze the behavior of an adolescent from a biopsychosocial perspective, the evaluation of his/her personality must be part of the set of tests to be used in order to fully understand how the patient manages his/her own values, beliefs, attitudes, emotions and coping strategies in different situations and contexts.

🤓The evaluation of normal personality using the 16PF-APQ Test in adolescents is an excellent tool when measuring the following aspects:

✅ Personality traits in adolescence. It is useful to analyze how personality development is evolving during adolescence, as this can help detect personal or social problems that are affecting the patient in family or school areas.

✅ Personality traits can be of great value during an assessment of vocational and professional interests. For more information on the importance of personality in vocational assessment, I recommend reading the following article: Vocational psychology and career choice in Panama

✅ Personality assessment in adolescents allows us to assess the presence of everyday difficulties, an aspect that is valuable when detecting problematic situations that may be affecting the adolescent's Mental Health.

✅ The scale of daily difficulties helps us to assess the presence or absence of indicators related to discouragement, worry, anger-aggression, difficulties with authority, and coping problems. From a psychological perspective, this can help when providing therapeutic support to adolescents who require it.

✅ In any learning need, personality assessment can greatly help educational centers to understand the educational, pedagogical, methodological and learning actions that they can use according to the students' personality traits. Hence, personality in adolescents is an important aspect when proposing reasonable adjustments and adaptations to educational centers.
