Clinical Psychological Assessment
Psychologists administer a variety of assessments and tests to gather information about an individual's psychological functioning, personality traits, cognitive abilities, emotional state, and more. These assessments help psychologists diagnose conditions, plan treatment, and gain a better understanding of a person's overall mental and emotional well-being. Here are some common types of assessments Your Kind of Happy will often administer:
Intelligence Testing
These tests measure cognitive abilities such as reasoning, problem-solving, memory, and processing speed. The most well-known intelligence test is the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS).
Personality Testing
These assessments evaluate an individual's personality traits, patterns of behavior, and emotional functioning. Examples include the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the Big Five Personality Inventory
These tests can be used as a supportive tool for reaching a diagnosis for various mental health disorders.
ADULT ADHD & Attention/Memory Testing
These assessments evaluate an individual's ability to focus, sustain attention, and shift attention. They are commonly used in diagnosing attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Adult ADHD Assessment typically involves three Assessments to include a Cognitive Battery (including various neurological testing exercises), and two self-report inventories (Brown Executive Function/Attention Scales, and Delis Rating of Executive Functioning -Adult). Once tested pt. will receive 1-2 months of a computerized training program that trains specific areas that are deficit (i.e. selective attention, processing speed, visual short-term memory). Therapy sessions are aimed at put in place healthy lifestyle changes (i.e. diet, exercise regime, supplements, focus exercises). Lastly, pts are retested after implementing changes to receive outcome scores and monitor progress.
