Psychological Evaluations & Testing Social Workers in Maryland

Psychological evaluation and testing is an in-depth way of understanding and measuring behavior and personality. Usually, the aim of an evaluation is to answer a question or concern about a person’s mental health, ability, or functioning. For example, evaluations and testing can inform the diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions, such as ADHD, dyslexia, learning disabilities, and memory issues.

Psychological evaluations and testing are conducted by specialized mental health professionals – often licensed psychologists – who have specific training in the administration and interpretation of psychological tests. In an evaluation, the clinician might ask questions in an interview-style format and guide the individual through psychological tests, which may feel like puzzles, quizzes, or pencil-and-paper activities. The clinician then integrates this information and is often able to reach a diagnosis and, if needed, the best-fitting treatment plan to address the person’s needs.
