What to Expect at a Psychological Assessment
Initial Interview
Your psychologist will ask about your background, health history, and the concerns that brought you in. This helps them understand what you are experiencing and why you are seeking an assessment.
Standardized Testing
You will complete a series of written or computer-based tests measuring cognitive functioning, memory, attention, and emotional wellbeing. These tests are standardized — meaning they are validated tools used by psychologists across Ontario and Canada.
Behavioural Observations
Your psychologist will observe how you respond during the assessment — including how you approach tasks, manage frustration, and communicate. This provides valuable context alongside the test results.
Questionnaires
You will complete questionnaires about your thoughts, feelings, and daily functioning. In some cases — particularly for teen assessments — family members or teachers may also be asked to complete questionnaires.
Feedback Session
After completing the assessment, your psychologist will meet with you to review the results. You will receive a clear explanation of the findings, your diagnosis if applicable, and recommended next steps.
Written Report
You will receive a comprehensive written report summarizing the assessment findings and recommendations. You can share this with your doctor, school, employer, or other service providers.
