Hi,
Personality tests can sometimes give useful insights about patterns, strengths, and challenges, but they are not compulsory for counseling to begin. Many people progress well in therapy without such tests. Think of it like a medical doctor suggesting blood tests — sometimes helpful, but not always necessary.
If you feel the cost is difficult, it’s completely okay to ask your psychologist why the test is recommended and whether it’s essential for your situation. What matters most is that therapy feels supportive, transparent, and comfortable for you. You can also take a second opinion if you’re unsure.
