What is Involved in Assessments and Reports
Most psychometric and Behavioural tests (including IQ tests and intelligence tests) require up to 2 hours of testing onsite with a clinician. The process generally consists of;
-
Pre-assessment phone call - 15mins
-
Clinical interview and background assessment (1 hour)
-
Onsite cognitive/behavioural testing (up to 2 hours)
-
Follow-up session to discuss results and report
Once all the data is collected we undertake the analysis, which includes test scoring, results interpretation and report preparation. The output of the report is then discussed at a follow-up session, where recommendations and next steps are explored.
