Bender-Gestalt (Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test) is a diagnostic assessment to identify learning disability, neurological disorders, and developmental delay.  It is used with all age groups to identify possible learning disabilities, neurological disorders, mental retardation, and developmental delay.  

Conover Anger Assessment helps individuals identify, understand, and diffuse their anger.  They learn to express their needs and understand the feelings of others.

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is a frequently used personality test. 

Mental Status Examination (MSE) is an interview process where a psychologist examines a patient's mental condition.  Information is gathered during history taking.  The MSE results are combined with the psychiatric history.

Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) is a widely used, researched, and taught projective psychological test.  It taps a subject's unconscious to reveal repressed aspects of personality, motives and needs for achievement, power and intimacy, and problem-solving abilities.

Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) is a general IQ test, introduced in 1955 as a revised Wechsler-Bellevue test (1939) for use with adults over the age of 16.  The current version is WAIS-III (1997).

Wechsler Individual Achievement Test-II (WIAT®–II) provides reliable information about an individual’s academic skills and problem-solving abilities to guide appropriate intervention.  It is a comprehensive measurement tool useful for achievement skills assessment, learning disability diagnosis, special education placement, curriculum planning, and clinical appraisal for preschool children through adults.  

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC IV), developed by David Wechsler, is an intelligence test for children from age 6 to 16 that can be completed without reading or writing.
