Summary
A psychological evaluation answers a specific referral question using interviews, records, tests, and observation — not just a single score.
Types include clinical, forensic, neuropsychological, educational, and fitness-for-duty. Validity checks catch exaggerated or fake responding.
- Referral question drives everything.
- MMPI, WAIS, PAI, BDI are common tools — never use one test alone.
- Reports must state limits, methods, and who will read them.
