Most clients enjoy the tests as interesting, challenging tasks. Almost always, testing includes:

a test of abilities, designed to reveal intellectual strengths and weaknesses;
a test of achievement, designed to measure basic skills in reading, writing, and arithmetic;
and a personality inventory, designed to help us understand characteristic style, coping patterns, and current difficulties.

Depending on the reason for the visit, the client may also be administered tests of attention and concentration, memory, or neuropsychological functioning. If the client is a child, we may ask the caregivers or the child’s teacher to complete some ratings of the child’s typical behavior.
