These involve discussion of a person's current and past functioning in the context of their medical, educational, occupational, and interpersonal functioning. Based on this discussion and the areas of concern, the psychologist plans a test battery involving a number of tasks such as answering questions about various types of knowledge, problem-solving, focusing and shifting attention, and trying to learn and remember new information. There are also questions meant to understand how a person feels and how they see themselves, others, and the world in general. These tasks are completed one-on-one with breaks taken, as needed.
