Psychological Testing

Psychological testing is a method used to evaluate an individual's cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. It can help diagnose and treat mental health disorders and assess personality traits, intelligence, and other psychological factors. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI), Rorschach Inkblot Test (Ror), Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), and Children's Apperception Test (CAT) are some commonly used psychological tests. Each test has its own unique structure and purpose. Psychological testing is typically administered and interpreted by licensed mental health professionals, such as psychologists or psychiatrists. Results from psychological testing can help guide treatment recommendations and provide valuable insight into an individual's psychological functioning. It is important to note that psychological testing should be used in conjunction with other forms of assessment and diagnosis to provide a comprehensive understanding of an individual's psychological makeup.
