Psychological testing is an essential tool that provides a detailed assessment of an individual’s cognitive and emotional functioning. At Behr Psychology, we use cognitive and IQ tests to identify your strengths and weaknesses. Our psychological assessment provides insights that can direct your personal development and identify appropriate therapeutic interventions.
Psychological testing is not therapy; it’s an opportunity to work with a licensed psychologist who uses standardized measures to identify symptoms of cognitive or personality dysfunctions or test learning disabilities.
Psychological evaluation is recommended for various diagnostic purposes, including the detection of ADHD and learning disorders. At Behr Psychology, we use psychological testing to evaluate your attention, focus, motivation, and activity levels. Sometimes, your therapist might suggest psychological testing to clarify diagnoses or delve deeper into your emotional experiences. These assessments are designed to answer questions about your personality and suggest ways to enhance your overall well-being.
Furthermore, if you’re pursuing higher education and need accommodations for college or advanced degrees, psychological testing can provide the necessary documentation to support your needs. While testing does not guarantee a diagnosis, it is a critical step in identifying conditions like ADHD or learning disabilities, helping you access the right resources.
Furthermore, personality disorder tests are used to assess personality. Personality tests can help explore personality qualities, clarify the diagnoses, and understand your emotional experiences.
Your psychological testing at Behr Psychology will begin with a consultation to identify your testing goals and specific concerns. On the day of testing, expect to spend approximately six hours with us for a thorough assessment. Your results will be meticulously scored and interpreted by our psychologists, resulting in a detailed report that outlines findings and recommendations.
We will then schedule a follow-up meeting to discuss your results and next steps, ensuring you clearly understand your psychological profile and guidance for future steps.
Behr Psychology offers psychological assessments for individuals aged eight and older. We are committed to helping those seeking answers about their cognitive and emotional health. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists, as psychologists and therapists, we do not prescribe medication. However, our testing can advise diagnoses and treatment plans. We can refer you to trusted psychiatrists within our network for a comprehensive treatment approach if necessary.
