What are common types of psychological tests?

Common types of psychological tests include intelligence tests, personality inventories, and neuropsychological assessments.

Intelligence tests measure cognitive abilities and intellectual potential, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS).

Personality inventories, such as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), assess personality traits and psychopathology.

Neuropsychological tests evaluate cognitive functions, such as memory, attention, and executive functioning, often used for brain injury assessments.

Projective tests, such as the Rorschach Inkblot Test, explore underlying thoughts, emotions, and personality traits through ambiguous stimuli.
