Testing Center

NICA’s Testing Center utilizes many of the newer and most well-respected psychological tests and measures to provide rapid, accurate, and meaningful assessment results.

We take the testing process one step further and provide specific “recommendations for consideration” for each client so that test information can be immediately utilized.

There are several reasons why people seek psychological testing.  For some clients, an accurate diagnosis can be clarified through testing, the importance of which cannot be underestimated. 

Decisions about the use of medications, surgery, or other health and mental health related interventions are often guided by psychological testing. 

Doctors, therapists, counselors, and other professionals have referred their clients to NICA’s Testing Center for second opinions, differential diagnosis, and treatment planning.

Some clients want to know more about themselves - about  the deeper nature of their problems - or of their personality.  

Special services and benefits may be contingent on results from psychological testing, such as social security disability income (SSDI), work-related accommodations (ADA) and academic assistance (IEP/504 plans). 

Testing can also help adolescents and adults make decisions about careers. Skills, interests, values, and abilities can be matched with rewarding career paths and positions. 

With our powerful compatibility assessments, couples can quickly learn about relational strengths and weaknesses, existing or potential problem areas, and discover effective steps toward improving their relationships.
