Diagnostic Assessments
This page includes assessment tools which aid in diagnosis. Although it is tempting to self-diagnose, professional guidance is recommended in interpreting assessment results.
Keirsey Temperament Sorter II
This assessment tool can help to identify your personality according to the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. There are 16 possible combinations of characteristics from the four dichotomies based on Carl Jung's theory of personality, which has been in clinical use since the 1920's. The four letter combination aligns with an archetypical profile which can help clients better understand themselves and their behaviors. The categories are as follows:
Extraversion (E)/ Introversion (I)
Sensing (S) / Intuition (N)
Thinking (T)/ Feeling (F)
Judging(J)/ Perceiving (P)
​
This specific approach using the KTS-II corresponds with a temperament tracing back to Ancient Greek philosophy. Each personality type is given a name, like Supervisor, Performer, Healer, or Mastermind.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder Assessment (GAD-7)
This brief screening tool assesses the severity of anxiety a person is experiencing on a simple scale. Each response equates to a number of points with higher scores indicating more severe anxiety. Clients can self-report their anxiety symptoms with the following responses: Not at all/ Several days/ More than half the days/ Nearly every day. The final scores of 5, 10, and 15 equate to mild, moderate and severe anxiety, respectively. If you receive a score of 10 or greater, it is recommended that you seek further evaluation.

Population served: Adults with anxiety symptoms

Potential diagnoses: Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

11-16: Mild mood disturbance
17-20: Borderline clinical depression
21-30: Moderate depression
