PSYCHOLOGICAL CASE STUDY REPORT
CLIENT’S NAME: Caren DATE OF BIRTH: May 10, 1988
AGE: 33 GENDER: Female
PARENTS/GUARDIAN: Lorena GRADE: College Graduate
DATES OF ASSESSMENTS: May 3, 2022 DATE OF REPORT: May 13, 2022
I. IDENTIFYING DATA AND REASON FOR REFERRAL

As a mental health status check-up for the client’s job-seeking, she was referred
by a colleague as she is currently looking for a job. As such, the client, a 33-year-old
mom seeking a job, was interviewed and would like to know how she would handle her
stress if she experienced it. As she is a mom, she would like to have a job that has
flexible hours so she can still have time to spend with her children. She would also like to
be aware of her strengths and weaknesses in addition to what she already knows.
The client took these tests; Intelligence Test to measure the client’s intelligence,
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to assess the client’s personality, The Quick Emotional
Intelligence Self-Assessment to assess the client’s emotional intelligence, Basic
Personality Inventory or Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory to assess the
client’s tendencies for maladjustments/disorders, and for projective tests, the client has
done the Draw-A-person test, House-Tree-Person and Sachs Sentence Completion Test to
uncover feelings, desires, and conflicts that are hidden from conscious awareness. By
interpreting responses to ambiguous cues, psychoanalysts hope to help the client in her
employment. Hence, the evaluation and assessment results will be helpful for possible
interventions that can address the client’s concerns if there are any.
II. SOURCES OF INFORMATION

III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Mrs. C.M is the first child out of five and graduated with a course in Computer
Science at the University of Manila. She married her husband in the year 2017 and is a
full-time mother of two girls, the oldest being 10 years old and the youngest being 4
years old. She mentioned that she has asthma, which is one of the reasons she left her
previous job, and it has been a year since she left. She became ill for more than a week
and decided to rest and leave her job; additionally, the client stated that she suffers from
asthma and that during the pandemic outbreak, she used to overthink, get nervous, and
experience mild panic. She mistook her mild panic back then as the cause of her asthma
when it was actually the mild stress she was experiencing. She even mentioned that when
she had a mild panic and could not breathe, they even went to the hospital as she was
nervous and thought she might have COVID, but the doctor prescribed her to take
Gaviscon (a medicine used to treat acid reflux and indigestion) and that she felt better
afterward.
She said that as things are slightly going back to normal, she would like to have
work again, as having no work means she has free time and no income. She thought of
finding a flexible full-time job to have income that she could use to pay bills, need in the
house, for her children to use, etc.

Interview
The client was asked several questions during the interview. The first question
was asked after talking to the client, What characteristics do you see in yourself and
confident that you have these characteristics? She answered that she was a flexible
person and a quick learner. She was then asked what are her weaknesses that she
thinks she can develop. She answered that she was an overthinker of negative things but
she hopes to not overthink negative things and next time, she wants to think in a positive
way. Then she was asked what are her plans or strategies to enhance the weaknesses
she just mentioned, she answered that she tends to not think, to not think about things
that are not happening right now and not worry about the future. During this part, she
laughed and was comfortable talking to us. She listened attentively and answered after
thinking about our questions.
She was then asked what are the problems she encountered during her
searching for a job, which she answered that it was finding work as she is a working
mom and she wants a work where there is no work in weekends to have time with her
kids and has not a strict working environment but she said that there is no such work and
also mentioned that can she be picky because she was the one who needs the work and
that’s what she finds hard. When she was asked what are the things that you want to
know before you apply to the job, she pondered for a while and answered that she
wanted to know what kind of work she was applying to, if she can do the responsibilities
or not as she does not want to disappoint the people who will hire her. After that, she was
asked what she wanted to know about herself before applying for a job. She
answered that she wanted to know and challenge herself where her capabilities and
limitations lie as she is already old, she wanted to explore her capabilities. Next she was
asked what her plans are in finding a job right now which she paused and thought for
a while, she then answered with a carefree laugh, that she just wanted to find work to
support the needs of her children and to pay her bills.
VI. TEST RESULTS (with interpretations)
Intelligence Test
Factor Score Verbal Interpretation
Mental Ability 11 Average
IQ: 94
Based on the results of her Intelligence-Quotient Test, she got a score of 11 out of
25 with an IQ conversion of 94. Implying that she is Intellectually average, signifying
her proficiency to complete job-related tasks that required both cognitive and physical
abilities recognizing patterns in shapes and figures.
Myers Briggs Personality Test
Personality Type E/I: 5,5 ESFJ (Extraverted Sensing
S/N: 16,10 Feeling Judging)
T/F: 10,10
J/P: 15,10
Final S.: 5,16,10,15
In the result of Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, her scores were interpreted and fell
under ESFJ (Extraverted Sensing Feeling Judging). Based on the test result, she has a
personality type of “The Caregiver” or “The Consul”. The Consul has various
characteristics including strengths and weaknesses which can be observed in the client.
According to it, a Consul (ESFJ) has strong practical skills, a strong sense of duty is very
loyal, sensitive, and warm, and is good at connecting with others which could be true
because the client stated during the interview that she is flexible and able to learn quickly
when someone shows her how to do something or assigns her a task. Also, this
personality type is one of the few that is both practical and caring. Consuls are well-
known for their social and administrative abilities, and they excel at creating and
maintaining a safe, stable, and friendly environment for themselves and their loved ones.
Consuls’ commitment is invaluable in many areas, including their own personal
development.
When it comes to the workplace, consuls have distinct tendencies that manifest
themselves regardless of their position. People with the Consul personality type thrive on
social order and harmony, and they use their warmth and social intelligence to ensure that
everyone is aware of their responsibilities and capable of getting the job done. Because
Consuls’ characteristics are so strongly expressed, leading with practical sense and social
vigor, the careers they find most fulfilling usually revolve around making the best use of
their qualities. Consuls are well-organized individuals who enjoy bringing order and
structure to their workplaces. Consuls often perform best in environments with clear,
predictable hierarchies and tasks. Monotony and routine work do not present a problem
for the Consul personality type, as they are content to do what is required. In addition,
ESFJs possess a wide range of abilities that can benefit those around them significantly.
Their enthusiasm and energy can have a positive influence on those around them. The
strengths of ESFJs make others feel welcomed and motivated, which can lead to more
productive and happy lives. Making sure others feel cared for, paying careful attention to
the details of an event, considering the impact a change will have on the group,
developing and seeing the potential of team members, and providing a warm, stabilizing
presence for others are all traits associated with the ESFJ personality type. When ESFJs
engage in tasks in which they excel, they are happier and more productive. They’ll be
able to actively engage with their work while also utilizing their strengths, which may
help them stay with a position in the long term.
Lastly, in accordance with MBTI, the weaknesses of a person with an ESFJ
personality type can negatively impact them. If ESFJ’s do not learn to manage or
overcome potential areas of weakness, their strengths will be overshadowed and their
positive impact will be diminished. The weaknesses associated with the ESFJ personality
type include a strong desire to avoid conflict, being easily thrown off balance by
emotionally charged situations, struggling to give negative feedback, and making
unpopular decisions. Which could be true because she mentioned during the interview
that she used to overthink, and she usually overthinks negative things. Thus, When ESFJs
make the effort to identify and overcome their blind spots, they can make strides toward
self-improvement. Small, incremental changes can lead to significant growth and long-
term development.
Emotional Quotient
Emotional Ability E.A: 31 E.A: Effective Functioning
E.M: 36 E.M: Enhanced Skills

The client’s strongest quadrant in the results of her emotional intelligence self-
assessment is Emotional Management, with a score of 36 falls under enhanced skills,
indicating that she has self-control, transparency, initiative and adaptability. Ther is
supported by her results, in which she ranked 4 (always) the statements, “I control urges
to overindulge in things that could be damage my well-being” and “I can restrain myself
when I feel anger towards someone”, also during the interview, she also mentioned that
when she overthinks negatively, she tends to focus on what is more important in her life
and stops herself from thinking negatively. It could imply that she has self-control. With
a score of 35, her second strongest quadrant is Social Emotional Awareness, which falls
under enhanced skills. In which she is aware of other people’s problems, needs, and
feelings and does her best to help them. Indicating that she is competent in terms of
situational awareness, empathy, and service ethics. Next quadrant was her Relationship
Management with a score 32, falling under effective functioning. It implies that her
potential capabilities are communication, conflict management, interpersonal
effectiveness, and building bonds. Lastly, her lowest-ranked quadrant is Emotional

Awareness, with a score of 31, although it scores lowest it is still above average, hence
developing this quadrant improves her capability of accurate self-assessment, personal
power and self-reflection skills.

Most of the client’s degrees of disturbance in every subject have no disruption.
There are only five mildly disturbed interpretations, specifically in the client’s area of
fear, guilt feelings, goals, and attitude toward the past and future. The mildly disturbing
interpretation means the client has no issues handling problems without the aid of mental
health professionals but still emotional conflict in the area.
For the detailed discussion of every mildly disturbed area based on the score, the
client’s fear seems to be in the boundary of the score 0 having lack of fear and 1, the fear
of self-assertion, which is ordinary. The client’s guilt feelings have a score of 1, which
shows regret over the past, and is mildly disturbed in controlling one’s troubles. The
client’s goals have a score of 1 which means one desires material things for the family
and herself. The attitude toward the past has a score of .50, and the client seems well
adjusted based on the score. Lastly, the attitude toward the future has a score of .75,
which weighs more in the interpretation of score 1, which means she is unsure of herself
but tries to be optimistic, and 0, which seems confident in achieving her goals.
Draw-a-Person (DAP)

IQ Level First: 86 Below Average
Second: 85
The first drawing is where the client draws herself. Mrs. C.M has a raw score of
24, and as she is currently 33 years old, that is equivalent to 86 after converting to the
standard score which is Below Average with an approximate percentage of the
population included of 16.12.
Upon administering the Draw a Person test on Mrs. C.M, she first drew a female
figure, and it is the representation of herself. She describes her drawing as "I’m happy
and contented right now." The placement of the first figure that she draws on the left side
of the paper indicates her past. She draws her head in the center, but it is
disproportionate, suggesting that she might have difficulty in one area and brain damage,
severe headaches, or other head sensitivity. Her drawing has a neck presence,
representing the connection between the head and the body; however it is short which
could also suggest feelings of physical inadequacy. She draws her eyes open and small
which can tell that she has a powerful visual curiosity, and she draws her eyes without
eyelashes which suggests avoidance of social problems as well as no eyebrows which can
indicate bad grooming. The nose is a sexual symbol; ther might indicate sexual difficulty,
sexual immaturity, inferiority, or other sexual insufficiencies and indicate that she has
possible acting out tendencies. She draws her hair neatly can mean she is sexually mature
and has a feeling of mortality. The arms and hands represent ego development and social
adaptation, as she draws her arms shorter which could have a low sense of physical
reality. She draws her fingers small and short which suggests her identity, and she has
low levels of aggression. She also has no nails drawn, which can mean that she is
reserved.
The second drawing is where the client draws herself. Mrs. C.M has a raw score
of 23, and as she is currently 33 years old, that is equivalent to 85 after converting to the
standard score which is Below Average with an approximate percentage of the
population included of 16.12.
Upon administering Draw a Person Test on Mrs. C.M, she draws next is a male
figure, and it is the representation of the opposite sex. She describes the male figure as
"He is a boy with a outgoing personality." The placement of the first figure that she
draws on the left side of the paper indicates her past and is a bit lower which can indicate
security and reality-oriented. She draws the head in the center, but it is disproportionate,
suggesting that she might have difficulty in one area and brain damage, severe headaches,
or other head sensitivity. Her drawing has a neck presence, representing the connection
between the head and the body. While she draws the face, there is an absence of a chin,
meaning it may be a way of compensating for weakness, indecision, or a fear of
responsibility. She draws the eyes open and small which can tell that she has a powerful
visual curiosity, and she draws the eyes without eyelashes which suggests avoidance of
social problems as well as no eyebrows which suggest bad grooming. The nose is a
sexual symbol; these might indicate sexual difficulty, sexual immaturity, inferiority, or
other sexual insufficiencies and indicate that she has possible acting out tendencies. She
draws the hair neatly can mean she is sexually mature and has a feeling of mortality. The
arms and hands represent ego development and social adaptation, as she draws her arms
extended which represents a good relationship with the environment or spontaneity. She
draws the fingers small and short which suggests her identity, and she has low levels of
aggression. She also has no nails drawn, which can mean that she is reserved.
House-Tree-Person (HTP)
Mrs. C.M has drawn a house, tree, and person respectively. The house represents
the home or the domestic situation, the tree represents the individual’s role in life
(wherein the trunk reflects the individual’s feelings of basic power while the branch
structure represents the individual’s flexibility.) and lastly, the person represents a self-
portrait.
The house represents the home or domestic situation. Her drawing was minimal
and straightforward. This reflects her feelings of inadequacy, and it is significant,
indicating extreme feelings of conflict with the environment. The door has a ladder and is
a bit higher from the ground suggests the person is inaccessible while the ladder indicates
impulsive, move away, much reaction formation, and the windows signify
disorganization and unpredictability. The walls have break lines that suggest aggressive
impulses. These impulses may come to expression without control; she is vulnerable to
influence from outside; the chimney on the roof is a bit on the right which suggests her
pressure from the past. She also drew a table with a television which is an irrelevant
detail that shows her severe anxiety. She said that she lives in the house and that it is a
happy house that was often visited by people. It was a house made of stone and she
watched television inside the house.
The tree drawing represents the individual's general role in life. Mrs. C.M's tree is
relatively normal, which means she is less conscious, and there are a few fruits as
dependent children and pregnant women draw fruits and there is a presence of a trunk,
indicating the person's ego strength. The branches show intense hostility, and the visible
roots below the tree emphasize ungratified needs and she has drawn crude leaves which
indicates less intelligence. She said that the tree is an alive Narra tree and it is 1,000 years
old, she said it was currently summer in her drawing and she is the one watering the tree.
Lastly, she draws a person who represents a self-portrait. It is tiny, and unlike her
other drawings, it implies that the person feels small, and she responds to the demands of
the environment with feelings of inferiority. Also, she draws a small head; it may mark
inferiority feelings or denial of the site of guilt feeling. Since she was the only one in the
picture, it denotes a lack of family support or the absence of a family support system
altogether. The drawing is placed in the lower right portion of the page, which
symbolizes over-anxiety about involvement. Her rendition of herself appears very
ambiguous. The figure has eyes, but no pupils are indicated. This signifies that she is
trying to hide or withdraw from something within the family and as she is sitting,
frequently indicative of low energy level, lack of drive, or of emotional exhaustion as
well as short arms which suggest an absence of striving. She said that the person in the
drawing is her, she is currently 33 years old and is feeling happy as she watches
television.
VII. INTERVENTIONS AND RESULTS
She stated in the interview that she has a tendency to overthink, and that she
usually overthinks negative things, which is a manifestation of anxiety, mental and
emotional stress. According to Cohen (2019), Stress can come in different forms such as
physical, mental, and emotional where experiencing it is normal as it is a natural part of
life. Stressors that appear occasionally may be harmless in our well-being however, when
it becomes persistent, it could lead to a long-term health problem. Mrs. C.M's life is
currently being impacted by stress, which is having a negative impact on her functioning.
She has a tendency to overthink things, and she is worried that her husband's income is
not enough for them, so she thought of finding a full-time job for weekly income, and she
wrote on the Sachs sentence test that she is afraid of the dark. Her lack of sleep is also
visible in the form of dark circles around her eyes, as we observed, indicating that she is
having difficulty sleeping. Concerning Cohen's list of effective ways to cope with stress,
which could be used by the client in order to help herself, one of which is
compartmentalizing thoughts. It is done by separating her thoughts into different areas
and leaving them where they belong to avoid overthinking and worrying. The second one
is called focus. It is simply focusing on one problem at a time, which helps the person to
take control over their thoughts and avoid the overflowing of stressors. After finishing it,
take your time to rest and relax before jumping to another one. Simple activities such as
taking a walk, drinking tea, eating, or meditating can help her clear her mind while also
allowing her body to rest.
VIII. SUMMARY
As a mental health status check-up for the client seeking a job and referred by a
colleague has undergone an interview and tests. Mrs. C.M is the first child out of five and

she mentioned that she has asthma.
Based on the psychological test results and the information gathered during the
interview with Mrs. C.M as well as her results in EQ test, her emotional ability was fairly
high, as her verbal interpretation falls under Effective Functioning and Enhanced skills
based on her performance in the test, where she received a significantly high score which
corresponds to her result in MBTI. As per the results on her Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
test, she has no any intellectual disability and there were also no problems related to it
that has been reported. In connection to that, as she has a high score on the emotional
quotient ability test, her result in MBTI’s strength which determines her personality, fell
under ESFJ (Extraverted Sensing Feeling Judging), wherein having a personality type
like this is someone who is "The Consul'' or "The Caregiver," can make others feel
welcomed and motivated, which can lead to more productive and happy lives. Making
others feel cared for, paying close attention to details of an event, considering the impact
of a change on the group, and maintaining a stable presence can all serve as evidence that
she has emotional control over and a personality that is sensitive to people and
her surroundings.
In the result of her Basic Personality Inventory/MMPI, it is shown that she has a
tendency to have the disorders mentioned. Mrs. CM got a score of 77 in Masculinity-
Femininity (Mf), which is the highest among the domains that arise on her MMPI, where
the symptoms are to reject traditional feminine or masculine roles, which corresponds to
what Mrs. CM's situation is where she is trying to find a job to help support her family
and have an income. We concluded that she got the highest score in this domain as, being
a mother of two, she rejected the Domesticated role of a mother that should be at home
taking care of her daughters and her husband.

Next, she has a score of 69 in Hypochondriasis (Hs), where one of the symptoms
is that she may develop somatic symptoms in times of stress. She did mention having
headaches or migraines at times, feeling chest pains, and acid reflux. The client’s trouble
breathing might also be part of hypochondriasis symptoms due to stress as according to
her results in DAP, she is reserved and might have been suffering from within and
according to her MBTI, she might have repressed her issues to herself and would not
express it but the body has a way of expressing the client’s emotional tension. As we can
also relate to the score of her psychasthenia (Pt), she got a score of 59, although it was
not entered into the 60 and above basis to be interpreted. But because of having a related
connection to (Hs), we would like to include it as well. So much for that, the
interpretation of psychasthenia (Pt) having these symptoms such as being anxious, tense,
and uncomfortable; and, as previously stated, she experiences mild panic, particularly
during pandemic outbreaks. She was having trouble breathing. Her overthinking of
negative things also further added to her anxiety, and she immediately visited the hospital
to check but was sent home and told to take Gaviscon by the doctor.
Lastly, she got a score of 67 in Social Introversion (Si), indicating that she is
introverted, depressed, guilty, slow personal tempo; lacks self-confidence; lacks interests;
submissive, compliant, emotionally over-controlled. As we can connect to the result of
her MBTI, wherein the ESFJ personality does not learn to manage or overcome potential
areas of weakness, their strengths will be overshadowed and their positive impact will be
diminished. We could say that if a sudden situation happens which she cannot handle, the
client's social introversion will emerge. For instance, due to the pandemic, she has grown
used to being inside the house.
However, we found a conflict as we mentioned that she has a personality type of
ESFJ, which is "extroverted," and her results from MMPI showed she got a high score in
"social introversion" (Si), which makes a contradiction. Hence, we concluded and were
very much sure that the client was extraverted as during the interview she was shown in a
warm, pleasant, and friendly mood, which made it easy to establish rapport. Also, in her
Draw-a-person test, the hands of her drawing were wide open and placed outward. With
that, it could validate her extraversion.
The results of her projective tests. In Sachs Sentence Completion Test, most of
Mrs. C.M’s degrees of disturbance in every subject have no disruption. There are only
five mildly disturbed interpretations, specifically in the client’s area of fear, guilt
feelings, goals, and attitude toward the past and future. The mildly disturbing
interpretation means the client has no issues handling problems without the aid of a
mental health professional but there is still emotional conflict in the area and her results
in the Draw a Person Test, were quite low and resulted in a score that was below average.
She displays a good personality that allows her to have a harmonious relationship
towards other people. It was observable during the interview as well, as she was someone
whom you can talk to comfortably, polite, and attentive. As corresponds to the results of
her MBTI, she is very much loyal to her friends and family as well based on the
experiences she shared during the interview; she was a dependable one where she would
be there if one of them needed help. That personality of hers manifests because she is the
first child or the breadwinner in her family.
In her results on the House-Tree-PersonTest, Mrs. C.M has drawn a house, tree,
and person respectively. Her drawing of the house was minimal and straightforward. This
reflects her feelings of inadequacy, indicating extreme feelings of conflict with the
environment. Mrs. C.M’s tree is relatively normal, which means she is less conscious,
and there are a few fruits as dependent children and there is a presence of a trunk,
indicating the person's ego strength. The branches show intense hostility, and the visible
roots below the tree emphasize ungratified needs and she has drawn crude leaves which
indicates less intelligence and lastly, the person, it is tiny, and unlike her other drawings,
it implies that the person feels small, and inferior. It also denotes a lack of family support
or the absence of a family support system altogether. The drawing is placed in the lower
right portion of the page, which symbolizes over-anxiety about involvement. Her
rendition of herself appears very ambiguous. The figure has eyes, but no pupils are
indicated. This signifies that she is trying to hide or withdraw from something within the
family and as she is sitting, frequently indicative of low energy level, lack of drive, or of
emotional exhaustion as well as short arms which suggest an absence of striving.

Despite having many positive qualities, she admitted in the interview that she has
a tendency to overthink, and she usually overthinks negative things. However, she was
able to overcome this by stating that when she overthinks negatively, she tends to focus
on what is more important in her life and stops herself from thinking negatively which is
a great asset that many employers want. she was mentioned that she has feelings of
inferiority, fear of responsibility, indecisiveness, and guilt feelings, these might be related
to her past concerns, also she is still unsure of her goals and future but she is reality-
oriented and has a good relationship with the environment, there can be seen from her
previous job where she is a technical support that assists clients. She has more experience
in IT and considers herself as having expertise in this field, and she is happy to help and
assist her customers with their concerns about the software. She would like to work for a
company that would maximize her expertise and allows her to widen her experience.
IX. RECOMMENDATIONS
It is highly recommended for her and her family to undergo family counseling to
address her concerns and also to discuss her plan to look for a job. In this way, the client
can further understand her strengths and limitations as well as her family connections,
which may help to improve her well-being. It is also suggested for the client to take
frequent breaks and pause from doing strenuous activities to avoid exhaustion. The client
must also have a regular checkup to evaluate her physical health since she mentioned she
is prone to respiratory illnesses and has asthma.
Nevertheless, if the experience of Mrs. C.M. continues, becomes out of control,
and has already had a significant impact on her life, it is recommended for her to seek
help from mental health professionals such as counselors, psychologists, or
psychotherapists. Those professionals can be someone she can rely on and openly talk
about her stress. She could also learn to identify the triggers of her stressors, and through
that, a professional could create the right plan and interventions in order to help her
overcome them, as well as counseling to balance her work, health, and family.
It is also recommended for the client to actively search for a flexible job wherein
her experience and expertise will be maximized. We recommend that she work as a
virtual assistant, specifically as a technical support assistant. After further analyzing her
interests, strengths, and other aspects, it is perfectly aligned with her field of expertise, as
she is a computer science graduate with integrated software and application knowledge.
In connection with the reason for the referral, she mentioned that she is also looking for a
job that has flexible hours because she is also a mother of two. We concluded that this
type of job is very much suitable for her as the company that is related to virtually
assisting clients is ready to help clients 24 hours a day, which means nighttime hours are
definitely possible. She could work on a ship at night and still keep an eye on her
daughter during the day. And also, work related to virtually assisting clients offers work
from home, which is much to her favor. Lastly, we assume that the psychological test we
administered to her was insufficient, and we suggest that she take additional tests such as
an aptitude test, occupational interest tests, career personality tests, and subject
achievement tests depending on the aspects she wants to know about.

perceive himself and his environment; (2) Draw-A-Person test to check the levels of his
anxiety and to validate his IQ and lastly, (3) The Sachs Sentence Completion Test to
identify his views on his own, his family and his surrounding environment. The results of
these tests may be a referral guide for further analysis of Mr. Joshua’s mental status.

Interview
The client was asked several questions after the discussion of his results in the
objective and projective tests. The first question pertained to how is his mental health
these days and he promptly responded he doesn’t know but he knows he acknowledges
he is not okay. He was asked to rate on a scale of 1-5, 1 being low and 5 being mentally
healthy, he answered 2.5 and he feels mentally exhausted because of the demands in
his academic responsibilities. He was also asked an implied question what does he think
triggers the breakdown of mental health of youth these days and he answered 3 main
factors, family problems, academic responsibilities and social relationships. And then he
was asked if this also was implied to him and he responded somehow. The client during
the interview felt comfortable sharing his thoughts and composed himself without
getting too emotional given the interview was administered in a public area.
He was then asked how is he coping up and is it working and he said that
sometimes, he just needed rest for a week or two and it cost him his leave of absences
in school. When he was asked about how much rest does he think he needs, he
answered minimum of 6 months up to 3 years to completely rest and gain energy again.
He was looking to rest for a while after his graduation before entering an employment.
He was also asked if there are people whom he can communicate with his feelings, he
mentioned that he has friends whom he can share his thoughts with but he has
mentioned that darkness inside his head is too loud sometimes. He acknowledges the
people around him but sometimes he feels that his own thoughts were “eating” him and
leading to suicidal tendency. He was asked the last question what are the things he
need right now and he responded that he might probably need mental medication and
therapy again but he is still considering time and resources.
VI. TEST RESULTS
Intelligence Test
Factor Score Verbal
Interpretation
Mental 21 Very Superior
Ability IQ:
132
He got a raw score of 21 out of 25 with an IQ conversion of 132. Implying that he
has Very Superior Intelligence. He took the 25-item IQ test as part of evaluating his
mental status. During the interview, he has mentioned that he leads his academic
organization. During his primary and secondary years, he has been a constant academic
achiever.
Emotional Quotient
Emotional E.A: 28 E.A: Effective
Ability E.M: 27 Functioning
S.E.A: E.M: Effective
38 Functioning
R.M: 27 S.E.A: Enhanced Skills
R.M: Effective
Functioning
Out of components, the highest score he had is Social Emotional Awareness
with a score of 38 and represents Enhanced skills. This shows that he is highly aware of
the feelings of people around him. The next components which he scored both 28 and
equivalent to Effective functioning are Emotional Awareness and Relationship
Management. And lastly, he scored 27 which is equivalent to effective functioning to
the component of Emotional Management. This means that he is aware of his own
emotions and feelings; he can manage and control them and he can also maintain good
relationships with other people.
During the interview dated May 2, 2022, he was asked follow up questions with
regards to this Eq test. The first question was about how he demonstrates his strongest
domain which is Social Emotional Awareness. He then stated that whenever he is in the
crowd, he tends to feel the presence of other people. He feels their aura and wonders
how that person feels, or if he can jam with the person he is with. The next question
tackles his weakest domain which is emotional management and how it affects his life.
On the quantitative part, it seemed that he is under the category of functioning but
during the interview, he mentioned that his loss of control to the things he feels and to
the thoughts coming in, whenever he feels overwhelmed by his responsibilities, he
intentionally misses his classes and it somehow comforts him. But the stress that he
feels comes back when there is a lot of work to do. He then still accomplishes it before
the deadline. The last question focuses on improving his Emotional Management and he
said, he feels derailed, he just sometimes needed rest and acknowledgement.
Whenever he encounters conflict, he will first try to acknowledge where he went wrong,
rest for a while whenever overwhelmed and find ways on how to get back on track.
The Big Five Inventory Questionnaire

Factor Scor Verbal
e Interpretation
Extraversion 2.25 Low
Agreeableness 3.88 High
Conscientiousne 2.88 Moderate
ss
Neuroticism 4.37 High
Openness 3.5 Moderate
The score of the client were as follows: for Extraversion, he scored 18 with
mean of 2.25 and can be interpreted as low; for Agreeableness, he scored 35 with a
mean of 3.88 with interpretation of high; for Conscientiousness, he scored 26 and had
a mean of 2.88 which is moderate; in Neuroticism he scored 35 with a mean of 4.37
which is high and lastly for the Openness, he scored 35 with a mean of 3.5, interpreted
as moderate. It is evident for the client that he has high levels of anxiety and since he
scored low on extraversion meaning he doesn’t have much energy to do things. This is
evident through a follow up interview conducted last May 2, 2022 that he is
experiencing relapse of his Major Depressive Disorder and is highly anxious these days.
It greatly affects his academics and is not motivated to do school work. His score on
Agreeableness proves that he tends to feel people around him rather than him being
aware of his own emotions.

Attitude Toward Past 0.5 Mildly disturbed
Attitude Toward Future 0.75 Mildly disturbed
Goals 0 No significant
disturbance
Most of the client’s degrees of disturbance in every subject have no disruption or
disturbance. There are only 6 mildly disturbed interpretations, specifically in the client’s
area of guilt feelings, attitudes toward the mother, family unit, own abilities, the past
and future. There is one area of the client’s fears that seems needed to be worked on
with a professional or needed to be interviewed more for further investigation since the
interpretation is severely disturbed. The mildly disturbed interpretation means the
client has no issues handling problems without the aid of mental health professionals
but still emotional conflict in the area.

For the detailed discussion of every mildly disturbed and severely disturbed area.
Going first with the mildly disturbed, based on the score, the client sees mother’s fault
but accepts and tolerates differences with regards to the attitude to his mother. The
client’s aware that the family does not recognize him as a mature person but has no
difficulty in relating with them for the attitude towards the family unit. The client has
regret over the past and seems mildly disturbed by his failure to control his trouble in
the guilt feeling area. He feels he has a specific ability but tends to fear difficulty for his
attitude towards own abilities area. Regarding his past, he is in the boundary of feeling
rejected/isolated and feels well adjusted, having another interview is helpful to
determine the weight of his answers. He is unsure of himself but tries to be optimistic
for his attitude towards his future. The client’s fears are the severely disturbed area, he
is disturbed by the apparent fear of loving, possibility to control his feelings. Further
evidence can be gathered in his next interview session to review the findings for more
accuracy.
Draw-a-Person (DAP)
Factor Scor Verbal
e Interpretation
IQ 94 Average
Level
The client drew a man first. He described this as a 25-year-old middle aged man
who struggles to identify himself with the surroundings. Upon validating each body part
and segment in the drawing, he obtained a score of 29 and it is equivalent to an IQ of 94
with an approximate percentage of 16.12.
The Person drawn was in the center of the paper, no significant disturbances
found. The shape of the head is drawn proportionately and no sign of malfunction with
the brain. The neck represents clear connection between head and body, no over or
underemphasis seen. It is also noticeable that he completely omitted the face which
signifies avoidance of social problems. The arms and hands are detailed and exposed,
representing ego development and social adaptation. Extended arms represent a good
relationship with the environment or spontaneity. And lastly the fingers are well
defined. Usually represents aggression. Fingers on the right side from the perspective of
the drawing seemed longer than the left. He might have torn aggression. Nails are not
present and it represents being reserved but all his fingers are open.
House-Tree-Person (HTP)
The initial drawing of Mr. Joshua is a massive tree with no trunk visible, six (6)
branches, and leaves, but it is not fully detailed. He also drew a house with a chimney,
as well as a single door and a single locked window. His home also has a modest gate
and a fence. However, the person he drew is not highly defined. The person he drew is
outside the house walking under the tree.
Mr. Joshua drew a simple tree portrait, which is a two-dimensional tree without
a visible trunk but an excessively huge number of leaves. Trunk represents basic power,
or a person's ego; he drew a tree without a visible trunk. However, the leaves he drew,
on the other hand, are rough or crudely drawn, implying that he is less intelligent; leaves
represent fulfillment and satisfaction. Mr. Joshua also drew a home with an earlike roof,
which represents auditory senses, and a wall, which represents ego, and a light pencil
line, which suggests he does not want to become involved. The house also has a simple
chimney, but no smoke coming out of it, indicating that the house is cool and that his
father is missing. A single door is also included in the house he drew; the door
represents direct contact. The house also has one window, which refers to the various
ways in which people interact with their surroundings. The window had no panes and
was blank, indicating opposing tendencies and drew in light in a strokes manner, which
it denotes apathy and an empty sensation within. He also placed a fence or a gate in
front of the house, which symbolizes guardedness and the ability to protect oneself
from others. Finally, He drew the individual which he did not include much detail in his
drawing. The person is just walking under the tree, and when it comes to movement, He
drew a mechanical kind of figure which means completely lacking in kinesthetic
implications, the analyst should be alert for other signs of depersonalization and
psychosis.
VII. INTERVENTIONS AND RESULT
The client mentioned that his mental health was 1, which is the lowest when we
asked him to scale his mental health, 1 being the lowest, 5 being the highest. The client
has the tendency to worsen each day if there is something triggering their emotional and
mental well-being. This can also be patterned to the client's diagnosis of depression.
Therefore, The psychotherapy that is good for the client is CBT (Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy). It would be very beneficial to the client because it will assist her in identifying
unhealthy, negative beliefs and behaviors and replacing them with healthy and positive
ones.
VIII. SUMMARY
As a mental health status check-up, the client has undergone an interview and
tests. The client is a 22-year-old College student studying Bachelor of Arts in Mass
Communication in the University of Diliman. He was the youngest son, and has only 1
brother. He lives with his mother, his brother, two aunts and one cousin. He is actively
participating in youth organizations in their school particularly in relation to media in
which he is one of the leaders. He is physically healthy but has been experiencing a
relapse of a Major Depressive Disorder and hasn’t seen his therapist for 2 years. He also
paused 1 year in 2021 in his school due to his mental condition. Recently, he is still
pursuing his college degree as a 3rd year student and aspires to become a writer in
alternative media.
The results of the psychological tests administered to the client seemed to be
normal and minimal disturbances found. On the objective tests, he has a very superior
IQ, and Effective functioning of Emotional Quotient. The result of his personality shows
that he has a high neuroticism and low extraversion that significantly shows on his
behavioral interviews. On his IQ, he has obtained a very superior score but when DAP
was administered it was on Average level. This still shows within normal range of his
Intelligence quotient.
The client has a great attention span, warm, pleasant and friendly which is
comfortable to communicate to. He is very active in school, smart and has a clear goal,
he also has a high agreeableness which corresponds to his projective tests such as he
has a good relationship with the environment but he avoids social problems and keeps
his problems to himself as he is also reserved which corresponds that he has low
extraversion and may show aggression as according to his HTP results, he is guarded, a
tendency to protect himself, does not like to be involved and may have signs of
depersonalization and psychosis as the client has a high neuroticism and low emotional
management. In his EQ test, his social emotional awareness was the highest, which
corresponds to the fact that he is sensitive to the feelings of other people and in his HTP
shows that he has a good social adaptation, however this might indicate that he will be
more influenced by his environment and other people which may be one of the causes
of the client’s relapsed.
IX. RECOMMENDATIONS
● As the client has stopped meeting his therapist, It is recommended to continue
as well as to continue taking his medicine for his treatment as to prevent any
relapse in the future. It is advised for the client to exercise and to rewind himself,
give himself some time to rest.
● Journaling is also recommended in order to aid Mr. Joshua in processing his
thoughts and emotions. Writing down his specific ideas can be a way of sorting
out her train of feelings.
● As the client's score was interpreted as very superior with a score of 21 out of 25
in his Intelligence Quotient Test but lowered in the projective test (Draw A
Person), we recommended taking other mental ability tests (Raven's Progressive
Matrices) to test or support the validity he got on the test.

(tab) A. S.W.O.T. ANALYSIS
A SWOT analysis is designed to facilitate a realistic, fact-based, data-driven look
at the strengths and weaknesses of an organization, initiatives, or within its industry
and the organization needs to keep the analysis accurate by avoiding pre-conceived
beliefs or gray areas and instead focusing on real-life contexts, as such, companies
should use it as a guide and not necessarily as a prescription (Kenton, 2021).
It is an analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, that provides
insight which could be useful to formulate strategies for future endeavors. In doing a
SWOT analysis, one gains knowledge to the current state of the firm or individual,
and can become a useful tool in defining and creating the right strategic plan and
action (Cooper, 2014).
