Assessments

Psychological Assessments Ottawa

Psychological Assessments are used by psychologists to help determine a diagnosis and inform the course of treatment. There are many different components to these assessments such as different tests, interviews, school and medical records, medical information, and observation. 


Psychological testing involves the use of reliable and valid questionnaires and hands-on manipulation of materials to help uncover the individual’s personality, psychological problems, intelligence level and aptitudes, vocational interests and so on.


Psychological assessments are usually done over multiple sessions and sometimes with multiple informants (individuals close to the client).Testing and assessments help the psychologist and client determine together what the nature and extent of his or her strengths and weaknesses are and what the best course of action would be.
