Have you ever wanted to know a bit more information about your personality, IQ, or just why you have certain habits? Testing can be used for a plethora of reasons. Some people seek it for career guidance, interest in knowing what one’s IQ is, placement in certain classes at school, or general curiosity into the inner workings of their personality. Others may seek it for court case purposes, that might include adoption, or even to know if their child is struggling with a learning disability. This blog will discuss the benefits of psychological testing, and how it can be helpful in the long run.

Every person can benefit from better knowing themselves and their own strengths and weaknesses. Therapy and medication management are two ways in which people can gain greater insight into their own behaviors and tendencies. Psychological testing can also be beneficial as a complement to the other two methods, as it can help unlock a person’s understanding of their own potential.

Some accommodations and insights that may result from testing, which can help further unlock your potential include:

• Extended time during examinations

• Taking an exam in a quiet room without distractions

• Receiving extended time on examinations

• Understanding why you engage in certain habits/coping patterns

• Gain insight into your relationship patterns

• Learn new adaptive coping skills

• Learn how your behaviors are affected by your emotions

• Understand why you might experience psychological distress in certain situations
