Temperament Assessment

Mary is trained in Temperament Assessment utilizing the Arno Profile System (APS™) and is a member of the National Christian Counselor Association (NCCA.org). The APS™ is an online assessment tool that provides understanding into an individual’s natural tendencies for responding and interacting with their environment and people. Unlike other assessments, such as the Meyer Briggs which helps identify personality or the DISC assessment which helps identify behavioral patterns, the APS™ identifies a person’s inborn disposition referred to as temperament.

The APS™ also provides a good starting point in a therapeutic setting because it deals with the inner person first, rather than outer manifestations or problems.  The APS™ quickly identifies possible “hidden” problems and helps the individual successfully identify unmet needs that may be creating stress, anxiety and/or conflict in their life.
