Psychometric Testing
Psychometric testing can be used to assess an individual’s cognitive abilities, personality traits, emotional functioning, and other psychological characteristics. These tests use standardised tools and measurements to gather objective data, which can help diagnose mental conditions, guide treatment plans or provide insight into personal strengths and areas for growth.
PsychExchange offers psychometric assessments for the preschool years through to adulthood, which covers IQ (cognitive testing) as well as testing for learning difficulties, behavioural issues, school readiness, giftedness and neurodivergence (including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
