Question 3

How do I use Persona?

Accepted Answer

After you download and start the Persona app, we will ask you first what areas of your life you want to improve (e.g., happiness, mental health, physical health, relationships, professional success or academic success). Then, we will present you with a short personality test to evaluate your 5 personality traits. Our algorithm will then recommend a personality trait to improve using our multifaceted programs designed by our psychology team. If you prefer, you can also select a different personality trait to target.

The programs run for multiple weeks and every week you will be presented with a psychologist delivered session followed by 2 actions to optionally perform weekly. These actions (known in the field of psychology by behavioral activation) will help you put into use your learnings from the session and drive the change that you want to bring into your life.
