Psychological tests enable mental health professionals to make diagnoses more reliably, validly, and quickly than they can from personal observation alone. Tests can uncover problems that a mental health professional may not detect until much later. This allows the clinician to focus on the appropriate treatment more quickly, thereby saving time and money for the patient or client. Once a course of treatment has begun, tests can help the clinician monitor the effectiveness of the treatment as it proceeds.
