Personality Profiles

The Next Generation of Personality Assessment

A research-driven, deeply personalized personality profile available for direct purchase online with instant access to ARCS’s secure testing platform.

What is the PDTP?

The Personality Driven Therapy Profile is ARCS Institute's advanced personality profile that  is designed to showcase the results of the  Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) for use in clinical care.  The PID-5 provides clinically relevant insights into personality structure, helping you refine diagnoses, tailor treatment plans, and improve therapeutic outcomes. â€‹â€‹Profiles are scored using up to date validated norms and are designed to be shared with clients for use in practice. 

​

Once you purchase the profile, you’ll receive immediate access to our secure testing platform and can create a test for your client to complete.

Facet Level Personality Traits​

Personality Trait Facets are specific traits known as facets. These facets provide a detailed look at fine grained aspects of personality. â€‹Using the PID-5 trait facets helps us personalize treatment by identifying the specific ways clients think, feel, and relate to others. Whether someone struggles with emotional lability, impulsivity, detachment, or perfectionism, these insights guide us in creating targeted interventions that match their unique personality style, leading to deeper engagement and better outcomes.
