Q1. Difference between psychological testing and assessment.
PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING
1) A test is a “product” that
measures a particular behavior or
a set of objectives.
2)  Tests are done after the
instruction has taken place, it’s a
way to complete the instruction
and get the results. The results of
the tests don’t have to be
interpreted, unlike assessment.
3) Testing involves the use of
formal tests such as
questionnaires or checklists. These
are often described as “norm-
referenced” tests. That simply
means the tests have been
standardized so that test-takers
are evaluated in a similar way, no
matter where they live or who
administers the test.

ASSESSMENT
1) Assessment is seen as a
procedure instead of a product.
2) Assessment is used during and
after the instruction has taken
place. After you’ve received the
results of your assessment, you
can interpret the results and in
case needed alter the instruction.
3) A psychological assessment can
include numerous components
such as norm-referenced
psychological tests, informal tests
and surveys, interview
information, school or medical
records, medical evaluation and
observational data. A psychologist
determines what information to
use based on the specific
questions being asked.
