Understanding Psychological Assessment

Psychological assessment offers a powerful shortcut to effective treatment by providing a comprehensive understanding of your personality, functioning, and diagnosis right from the start. Using a carefully selected battery of standardized measures, we deliver a thorough evaluation along with tailored recommendations designed to meet your unique needs.

Our assessment tools include well-validated instruments such as the MMPI, MCMI, PAI, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Beck Inventories, and the 16PF. Each battery is thoughtfully integrated and explained in clear, accessible language, ensuring that both you and any professionals involved can easily understand the results.

Following testing, you will receive a full 50-minute feedback session where we review findings, answer questions, and discuss next steps—an essential part of the process that fosters self-awareness and supports meaningful growth.

The Importance of Personality Assessment in the Workplace

As highlighted in a recent Business Insider article:

“Poor leadership traits that cause workplace duress are often difficult to remedy through legal means, placing the responsibility on organizations to safeguard employees. This has contributed to the rise of personality assessments in hiring and management, with 13% of all corporations and 89 of the Fortune 100 companies administering such tests to prospective employees (Taube, 2015).”

This underscores the value of psychological assessments not only for individual growth but also for organizational health and success.

What to Expect

Testing sessions typically last between two and three hours. The process begins with gathering a detailed clinical history and conducting a structured clinical interview to understand your background and presenting concerns. Next, you will complete a combination of computerized and in-person psychological tests. We prioritize your comfort by providing breaks and a supportive environment throughout the session.

Once testing is complete, we schedule a feedback session to review your personalized report, offer guidance, and answer any questions. This collaborative step ensures that you can use the insights gained to make informed decisions and move forward confidently.
