psychological research asthey can examine the different aspects of human behavior. Different industries and professionalsuse personality assessments to understand and evaluate people’s behavior, traits, and tendencies[22]. Personality assessments can help improve self-awareness and personal growth. Additionally,these assessments help individuals in career development by identifying one’s strengths andweaknesses and finding good fitting career paths for their personality. People can also learn howto enhance their relationship and interpersonal skills by taking personality assessments.

The concept of Sustainable Manufacturingencourages the manufacturing of products using processes that minimize the overall negativeimpact through the conservation of energy and resources. One of the challenges in SustainableManufacturing is that many currently available processes are not economically sound comparedto other traditional processes. However, this dynamic is changing very rapidly. The othersignificant challenge is the shortage of skilled workers in this area.
