Personality Assessment
By identifying your unique personality traits, we can understand your strengths, weaknesses, and areas where you may require additional support. Candice provides various personality tests to help you gain insights into your unique personality.
Emotional Assessment
An emotional assessment can help pinpoint areas where you may struggle with emotional regulation and provide you with strategies for managing stress and improving your overall emotional well-being. This can include mood, stress, and mental health assessments to better understand your emotional state.
Career Guidance
Career assessments help to identify your strengths, interests and values and match them with potential career paths more likely to be fulfilling and rewarding. This includes psychometric tests and personality tests.
Neuropsychological Assessment
A neuropsychological assessment looks at cognitive deficits or changes associated with brain function. This includes assessing executive functioning, memory, attention and language. We typically perform this assessment after a brain injury, illness, trauma or damage affecting cognitive functioning.
What to expect at your first psychological assessment
At Candice Britz Psychology, we strive to make the assessment process as comfortable and informative as possible.
It's best to arrive a few minutes early for your assessment so that you can fill in the relevant paperwork and Candice can explain the process.
The specific techniques and tests used will vary depending on the type of assessment you're having. However, most assessments will involve a combination of standardised questionnaires, interviews, and behavioural observations.
The assessment process can take several hours, spread over one or more sessions. After completing the assessment, Candice will provide you with a detailed report outlining your results and discuss them with you in detail. She will also provide personalised recommendations for improving your well-being.
Please ask any questions you have throughout the assessment process.
Psychological assessments can provide valuable information about yourself and your life. Contact us today to arrange your psychological assessment.
