psychological profiles

Personality assessment documents

Psychological profiles are assessments that characterize a person's mental traits, behavioral patterns, and personality characteristics.

Law enforcement uses them to narrow suspects in criminal investigations: The FBI developed a psychological profile of the serial killer.

Employers, therapists, and researchers also create profiles to understand individuals or predict behavior.

The term sometimes carries sinister connotations of surveillance or manipulation.
