Psychologists have spent years trying to help people answer this questions. Now, you can benefit from this research-and uncover your strengths and weaknesses-with this collection of actual personality tests developed by psychologists for professional use. Twenty-five tests cover every aspect of your personality: intelligence, ambition, self-esteem, platonic and romantic relationships, and sexuality. And at the end of each test, expert advise is included that will help you change your life for the better. The personality profile that emerges will give you valuable insight into yourself-and point you in the right direction on your quest for self-improvement.
