Psychological Testing
Psychology has a long tradition of scientific research on human behavior and
personality. Through this research, a multitude of psychological assessment
scales have been developed to objectively and precisely measure various aspects
of psychological functioning and personality characteristics.
Intellectual ability (IQ) –Psychologists have developed assessment scales to
measure the intellectual ability of an individual. There are many ability tests
that measure intellectual functioning.
Memory functioning - Memory can be impaired without demonstrated decline in
intellectual ability. There are several scales of memory assessment, as well as
scales that are designed to measure malingered memory problems, and different
types of memory.
Personality traits – A different combination of personality characteristics
contributes to the vast range of individual differences we observe. Some
personality tests are designed to describe personality differences among
“normal” individuals, while others are designed to identify abnormal patterns of
personality, and others are designed to identify specific “personality
disorders”.
Neuropsychological problems – We can identify the extent of brain damage
suffered during a trauma be measuring the behavioral deficits and personality
changes that have developed. These tests provide valuable information about the
extent of injuries to the bran as well as providing a direction for
rehabilitation for individuals with brain injuries.
Sensori-motor problems – Psychologists have developed assessment scales to
identify these sensory problems. These tests results help plan the course of an
illness, or measure progress in cognitive rehabilitation.
Learning Problems - Neurological in origin, learning disabilities impede a
child’s ability to store, process, and produce information. Learning
Disabilities can affect the ability to read, write, communicate, and can impair
socialization skills. Poor performance on school tests, difficulty with time
concepts, distorted concept of body image, difficulty discriminating size,
shape, and other symptoms include inability to consistently complete work on
time, poor spatial and organizational skills, and failure to see consequences
for his or her actions. Plus there are variations in mood, poor adjustment to
environment changes and difficulty concentrating.
