Last spring, 64 members shared their thoughts on our name and focus. Most preferred to keep our current name, and many told us how much the word “Personality” means to this community.
We listened. The Board is now asking for your reaction to one possible name that keeps “Personality” first and adds the broader scope our bylaws already describe:
Society for Personality and Psychological Assessment
No decision has been made. Keeping our current name, Society for Personality Assessment, is a welcome answer, and so is suggesting something else. At its December meeting, the Board will review all feedback and decide whether to bring a name change to a member vote.
