Psychological evaluation

Psychological evaluation is a method to assess an individual's behavior, personality, cognitive abilities, and several other domains.[a][3] A common reason for a psychological evaluation is to identify psychological factors that may be inhibiting a person's ability to think, behave, or regulate emotion functionally or constructively. It is the mental equivalent of physical examination. Other psychological evaluations seek to better understand the individual's unique characteristics or personality to predict things like workplace performance or customer relationship management.[4]
