Psychology has developed due to the accuracy of psychological tests. Identifying mental traits and their susceptibility to both internal factors (cognitive or physiological) and external influences (social or environmental) has improved the range of interventions available for promoting individual performance and mental health.
In psychological practice, assessments are carried out using interviews, tests, and questionnaires, generally focused on the following goals:
Self-awareness: find out how you compare to the general population when it comes to intelligence, emotional reactions, or character strengths.
Diagnosis: identify protective factors, but also vulnerabilities for mental distress.
Performance: understand the mental factors that predict your success and find the skills that can open new opportunities for development across contexts.
