A psychological assessment is a thorough process first involving a detailed interview of you and possibly a significant person in your life or therapist/psychiatrist, as applicable. Any previous documentation or reports of your experiences would also be reviewed. You will then complete standardized questionnaires about yourself (typically just “true or false” or Likert rating scales). For psycheoducational evaluations, an added component of various performance tasks to objectively measure their abilities will also be included. All of this information would then be put together to determine what, if any, diagnoses you meet criteria for.
Your evaluator will also provide you with a list of tailored, individualized recommendations for how you may best improve on any areas of concern. The entire process may involve one to two appointments (about a hour to two hours each) and can span from two weeks to a month, while the evaluator gathers more information from the other sources you provide and analyzes all results. The conclusion of the assessment is in the form of a “feedback session” in which your evaluator will provide you with a full written report, explain to you all the findings, and give you ample opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
