AB Psychological  assessment  is  the  systematic  process  by  which  psychologists  evaluate  characteristics  of  people  (Weiner,  2010).  Characteristics  may  include  personality  traits,  intelligence,  neuropsychological  functions,  psychiatric  symptoms  or  disorders,  behaviors  and  their  contingencies,  attitudes  and  beliefs,  learning  disabilities,  academic  achievement,  school  readiness,  adaptation  to  medical  illness  and  disabilities,  appropriateness  for  surgery  or  organ  donation,  adaptive  and  social  functioning,  coping  skills,  quality  of  life,  fitness  for  duty,  criminality,  and  competency  to  stand  trial,  among  others.  It  may  extend  beyond  individual  characteristics  to  the  assessment  of  parent–child  or  couple  interactions,  family  functioning,  or  group  and  organizational  factors.
