What you can learn about yourself

Why do we easily reach agreement with others in some situations, yet fall back on habitual reactions in others? The Personality Adaptations model helps explore these patterns.

01

Which features of your profile are more pronounced and how they combine.

02

Which habitual reactions you notice in relationships, communication, and tense situations.

03

What in these ways of behaving can be a resource, and what sometimes limits your options.

04

Which hypotheses about yourself are worth testing and discussing with a specialist.

JPAQ results are based on your answers to questions, not on direct observation of your behavior. Interpretation requires taking your personal context into account.

When the assessment can be useful

You notice recurring difficulties in communication or relationships.

You want to understand how you react to criticism, pressure, or uncertainty.

You are interested in the Personality Adaptations model and want to learn your profile.

You want to discuss your habitual behavioral strategies as part of psychological or coaching work.

What is the original JPAQ

JPAQ (Joines Personality Adaptations Questionnaire) — Vann Joines’s original English-language questionnaire for exploring how strongly each of the six Personality Adaptations is expressed. It is an instrument based on the Personality Adaptations model, not a way to assign a person to one of six mutually exclusive types.

If you prefer to take the test in Russian, Psychometric.ru offers a separate service based on the Russian-language modification JPAQ / TLA.

Important

The questionnaire items and results are in English. The individual consultation is held in Russian or English.

The consultation is conducted by a specialist with verified credentials as a Certified PFT® Practitioner (Personality Focused Treatment (PFT)®).
