Assessments, Questionnaires, and Readings

There is no cost to take any of these assessment instruments and questionnaires.  Each is on the Internet and open to public access.  I believe that each of these assessment instruments and questionnaires has value to a person's self-understanding and ability to successfully negotiate his or her relationships.  I frequently request that clients take one or more of these assessment instruments and questionnaires as part of our work together.  In addition, readings are helpful.  The ones you see here are brief, highly educational, and likely apply to your situation.  In my work with you, we follow the lines of reasoning that many of these short articles recommend.
