Psychological Assessment
Psychological assessment refers to the process of gathering information and evaluating various aspects of an individual’s psychological functioning, including cognitive abilities, personality traits, emotional states, and behavioral patterns. It involves the use of standardized tests, questionnaires, interviews, and observations to gather data and make inferences about an individual’s psychological characteristics.
Psychological assessments serve several purposes, including: Diagnosis and Treatment Planning, Understanding Strengths and Weaknesses, Evaluation of Intellectual Abilities, Personality Assessment, Assessment of Emotional Functioning, and Screening and selection.

Assessment Dimensions
Attention
Attention is the central basic component for a variety of processes, such as perception, memory and problem-solving ability, and thus represents one of the most important prerequisites for all types of cognitive performance.
Memory
Memory skills serve to retain, organize and, if necessary, retrieve recorded information. Memory disorders often occur in a highly specific way, for example only in long-term memory or only when calling up verbal information.
Executive Functions
Executive functions play a decisive role in steering action, i.e. in anticipating, planning, and executing an action in a targeted manner. In everyday life, executive functions are needed above all in complex situations, such as driving a car or doing sports.
Cognitive Abilities
The broad concept of cognitive abilities covers all higher performances of the brain, from information processing speed to spatial perception and logical reasoning. They are therefore essential for perceiving, understanding and evaluating road traffic situations and reacting to them correctly and in a timely manner.
Social Cognition
Social cognition is the ability to understand their fellow human beings and to put ones self in their position. It develops in childhood, but can also be impaired in adulthood by various psychological disorders and after neurological diseases.
Reactive Behavior & Visual Functions
In critical situations, such as when crossing an intersection, it is important to get a quick overview of potential dangers and to respond appropriately to them so as not to endanger oneself or others.
Sensomotor Functions
Sensomotorics is the interplay of visual information and motor actions that enables targeted movements. This ability enables everyday activities such as cooking or sewing, and controlling heavy machines.
