A Psychological Evaluation aims to gather information about a person’s intellectual functioning, knowledge, skills, present emotional states, and personality through a set of standardized intelligence and personality tests. Interviews and observations are also used to complete the assessment procedure. These tests may be helpful in identifying an individual’s learning difficulties, cognitive deficits, daily living skills, mood and behavior problems, among others. Evaluation results are useful in both determining present needs and charting a client’s progress.
