Psychological assessment tests: what they explore

Each tool addresses a specific question. Used together, they help explain your abilities, emotions, personality and the difficulties you experience.

Screening: initial guidance

Screening questionnaires help determine whether a possibility — HIP, HEP, ADHD or Asperger’s / ASD — deserves further exploration. They guide the choice of assessment rather than replacing it. You do not need to complete screening first if your question is already clear.

Tests of cognitive intelligence

The WPPSI-IV, WISC-V and WAIS-IV are selected according to age and circumstances. They explore abilities including reasoning, knowledge, working memory and processing speed. The resulting profile clarifies strengths, difficulties and possible High Intellectual Potential. Testing takes place in person at the practice.

Assessing emotional intelligence

Suitable measures explore how emotions are perceived, understood and regulated. Within an emotional and personality assessment, they clarify emotional strengths and help identify High Emotional Potential where the profile supports it. Understanding these abilities can shed light on past experiences and change how people approach relationships.

Creative intelligence and High Creative Potential

Exploring creative intelligence helps explain idea generation, originality, flexible thinking and the development of solutions. Findings are interpreted alongside examples of how you think and what you create. Recognising High Creative Potential can help you give these strengths more space in your projects.

Personality questionnaires and projective methods

Questionnaires provide a structured exploration of responses, needs and relationships. Depending on the clinical question, projective methods may offer another perspective through responses to open-ended material. Findings are interpreted in context and alongside interviews and other evidence; no single tool captures a whole person.

From results to useful understanding

The emotional and personality assessment brings together interviews, emotional intelligence and personality tests, and diagnostic evaluation based on DSM-5-TR. Cognitive assessment may complement it. Feedback connects the findings with lived experience and practical options: communicating needs, adjusting the environment or choosing support.
