How We Do It?
Psychological assessment is a process of testing that uses an arrangement of procedures to help arrive at some hypotheses about a person and their behavior, personality, and capabilities. Psychological testing is nearly always performed by a licensed psychologist, licensed psychological associate, psychometrist, or a psychology trainee (such as an intern). Psychologists are the only profession that is expertly trained to perform and interpret psychological tests.
