Psychological Testing

Psychological testing involves gathering and integrating information to help determine a diagnosis and guide treatment. Formal testing can assess a range of difficulties, both psychiatric and non-psychiatric. Psychiatric issues include depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and personality traits. Non-psychiatric issues can include career or school issues. Psychological testing can provide a full picture of someone’s strengths and limitations. It measures an individual’s functioning at a specific point in time.

How Psychological Testing Works

A psychologist can help with assessing personality traits and interpersonal skills that might interfere with personal relationships and job or school performance. Sometimes the underlying cause of a problem isn’t always clear. Is it an attention problem, impulse control, trauma, or medical issues? Testing includes an interview to determine the presenting problem, observations, and review of background information, including school or medical records, if necessary. Collateral information is sometimes used from family or other providers if consent is granted.

Competent psychological testing is performed by someone with extensive training in clinical psychology, assessment, and interpretation of results. Clinical psychologists have training in identification of mood disorders, anxiety, learning disorders, personality functioning, conduct problems, trauma, and autism. Different testing measures are selected depending on the presenting problem, what the testing is designed to answer, and whether the subject is an adult or child.

Comprehensive testing can be a way to understand problems in an objective way and to find solutions for those problems. It is not something to be feared. Contact us to learn more about how we can help.
