For the purpose of this paper, I completed the NEO-FFI personality assessment. NEO-FFI assesses personality along the following four factors: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.

This assessment allows the clients the opportunity to affirm their views or ideas about their personality. As such, this can be used to confirm or disconfirm what they believed to be true about them. For example, a person can learn that he or she is moderately neurotic after believing him or her to be not neurotic at all before the
