Morphology
The meaning 'a test to evaluate personality traits' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'personality' (a person's characteristic traits) with 'assessment' (an evaluation). This straightforward attributive noun composition follows common English and cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the overall meaning.
Etymology
Personality assessment The name personality assessment comes from a simple idea: personality is a person's usual thoughts and behavior, and assessment is a careful check or score. When someone answers questions, the test 'measures' different parts of their personality, so the phrase means 'a test or questionnaire to evaluate a person's personality'.
