The focus of psychological testing or assessment is the evaluation of psychological characteristics or processes. Features of personality, symptoms, cognitive and neuropsychological processes, and interpersonal behavior are all relevant to the evaluation process.

Testing is used for many different reasons, including but not limited to:

• Diagnosis
• Treatment planning
• Behavior prediction
• Assessment of cognitive functioning
• Assessment of intellectual functioning
• Occupational aptitude
• Disability evaluation

 Psychological tests should only be employed by psychologists and neurophysiologists. These professionals have extensive training in administration, scoring, and interpretation of psychological tests.
