What is a Psychological Assessment?

Psychological assessments evaluate psychological factors in people, and may be as narrow or broad as the question presented to the psychologist for examination. Psychological factors include cognitive, affective, and behavioural processes, functions, traits, dispositions, and tendencies. Psychologists attempt to use valid and reliable tests to infer psychological factors to explain a trait or disorder, and the assessment is typically reported in a formal document discussing the findings and recommendations.
