PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT SYSTEM FOUNDATION

The Personality Assessment System Foundation is a non-profit organization whose members have extensive experience in the use of the PAS and in training others in the PAS. The PASF also maintains this web site and archives of various materials... Conversely, where test results cannot be obtained, the PAS provides a framework for "reconstructing" the personality that underlies the observed behavior (York, 1964). The reconstructed personality pattern can then be the basis for useful behavior prediction. This process can be applied analytically by clinicians skilled in the use of the PAS model or the process can be made more rigorous with any of the indirect assessment instruments that have been developed within the context of PAS methodology. Also important is the fact that the PAS methodology provides a way of communicating the particulars of a subject's position in PAS "space" with less equivocation than possible with a less descriptively and objectively oriented system.
