Psychological Testing


Term Definition Psychological Testing - includes tests like the Rorschach Ink Blot and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality.
Application in Divorce Psychological testing is often used in evaluations in custody disputes.

Psychological testing is yet another tool that may be used in cases of disputed custody to help a judge determine the best interest of the child, particularly when a child appears to be disturbed.

When it is done, psychological testing is usually conducted by court-appointed child psychologists. The tests may be used in conjunction with a larger evaluation of the child’s parents, friends and teachers.

A child caught in the crossfire of two battling parents can be torn to pieces because he or she is trying to love both parents equally. Psychological testing can lend a judge greater competence in determining where lies his or her best interest.
