How to Prepare for a Psychological Evaluation: 

​

• Get a Good Night's Sleep: A well-rested mind can better focus and engage in the testing process.

• Eat a Balanced Meal: Hunger can distract you. Ensure you have a nutritious meal before the test, especially if you know the assessment will be long.

• Dress Comfortably: Wear something you feel relaxed in, as you might be sitting for a while.

• Stay Calm and Honest: Answer questions honestly and try not to overthink.

• Come Prepared: Gather historical information that may be relevant to the current evaluation. This may include medical records, prior psychological evaluations, school report cards, work performance reviews, or Individualized Educational Programs (school IEP’s). Bring an up-to-date list of all prescription medications and supplements you are taking.

 
What to Expect During the Testing Process: 

​

• Initial Interview: Psychological Evaluations start with an initial interview to understand the reason for testing and gather background information. This guides decision-making regarding what tests are needed to answer the referral question.

• Varied Testing Methods: Depending on the purpose, you might encounter different testing methods, from multiple-choice questions to interactive tasks or open-ended questions. Curious Minds utilizes the latest psychological testing technology with computer based testing as well as interactive testing measures.

• Breaks: If the testing session is long, you'll typically be given short breaks.

• Safe Environment: The psychologist will ensure that the testing environment is comfortable and free from distractions.

​

What to Expect After the Testing Process: 

​

• Debriefing: After the testing session, brief impressions may be provided and a feedback session will be scheduled.

• Detailed Report: You'll receive a comprehensive report detailing the test results, interpretations, diagnosis and recommendations during the feedback session.

• Discussion and Clarifications: The psychologist will discuss the findings with you, helping you understand the results and answering any questions.
