Psychological testing (psychological assessment) is used to gain a better understanding of an individual and their behavior. That is, testing is designed to provide information on personality, cognitive ability, and emotional functioning. Through the use of various psychological tests, the psychologist can determine the proper diagnosis to inform for treatment planning. In addition to the use of various tests, a clinical interview is an important component to learn about primary concerns. Psychological testing can also assist in differentiating one condition from another as several mental health concerns overlap in symptoms.
