Personalities in relationships are very crucial. They can impact a relationship and dynamics in a relationship. PREPARE/ENRICH provided a personality test called SCOPE. It analyzes the five personality dimensions: Social, Change, Organized, Pleasing, and Emotionally Steady.

This feedback focuses primarily on the client’s strength and progress. .In addition, this feedback includes task for the client to complete that is designed to help the client to move toward positive change” (p.1).
