Integrated personality assessment reports

In this unit, you will learn how to turn your interim personality assessment report into a final integrated report. Dr Graham Tyler explains the steps needed, such as including proper introductory points, integrating evidence from the feedback session, and changing language from tentative to categorical where you have support. By following these guidelines, you will understand how to produce a clear and effective final personality assessment report.
