Tailored Assessment Packages

Unfortunately, assessments are expensive. Psychometric test development is an expensive process and costs are passed on to those who purchase them (psychologists). The training required to correctly administer psychometric tests and interpret results is extensive and so you are also paying for the level of expertise of your assessing psychologist. Assessments also take lot of time to undertake from interviews, assessment sessions, report writing etc – anywhere from 8 to 20 hours depending on the complexity of the assessment. Sometimes we need to access additional specific expertise if unexpected assessment results occur, and there are costs associated with this as well.
