Psycodiagnostics & Psychotherapie

Psychological testing, or assessment, is essential for understanding a person’s mental health, behavior, and strengths. Psychologists use it to explore various aspects of an individual’s psychological profile, including:

  • Core Components: Identifying psychological or mental health challenges.
  • Strengths & Weaknesses: Highlighting not only issues but also strengths.
  • Types of Tests: Covering IQ, personality, emotional well-being, and more.

Psychological tests provide a structured way to measure traits, feelings, beliefs, and capabilities that may influence behavior and well-being. Some tests focus on diagnosing conditions like depression, anxiety, or stress, while others measure personality traits and overall mental health.

When Is Psychological Testing Used?

A referral for psychological testing helps psychologists gain a comprehensive understanding of a person’s difficulties. This doesn’t necessarily indicate a serious issue but highlights the need for a well-rounded approach.

“Psychiatry without psychological testing is as outdated as orthopedics without the X-ray.”

Common Psychological Tests

  • ADHD/ADD Screening: Assesses symptoms of adult attention deficit disorders.
  • Anxiety Assessment: Identifies symptoms of panic or generalized anxiety disorders.
  • Autism Spectrum Evaluation: Screens for symptoms related to autism or Asperger’s.
