Psychological Testing in Chicago
Psychological testing can help clarify your diagnosis, but the testing process isn't just about finding a label that fits. It helps uncover the “why” behind your symptoms. At HumanKind Psych, we'll translate your evaluation results into clear, practical recommendations so you can get the right treatment and support to truly thrive.
Psychological Testing in Chicago
HumanKind Psychological Services offers customized evaluations to assess overall cognitive, intellectual, academic and executive functioning for adults. These evaluations can serve the purpose of diagnosing conditions including Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and clarifying symptoms that might interfere with your functioning at school, home or work. Our psychological evaluations are designed to assess symptom areas including:
-
Difficulty focusing or easily becoming distracted
-
Irritability
-
Decision-making
-
Memory problems
-
Anxiety and restlessness
-
Low motivation
-
Depression and mood changes
-
Organizational skills
-
Impulsivity
-
Problem-solving
-
Stress
​
We use a combination of objective and projective test measures to determine whether you currently meet full or partial criteria for ADHD, rule out the presence of any other psychological diagnoses, and make individualized treatment recommendations based on the evaluation results.
Please note: All testing includes an in-person portion, which takes place at our testing center at 2835 N Sheffield Ave. You must be physically located in Illinois to obtain psychological evaluation at HumanKind Psych.
Testing can provide a unique source of insight about how you process information, experience your emotions, and engage with different parts of your life.
Psychological testing and assessment provides a picture of your overall strengths and weaknesses. The goal of psychological evaluation is to accurately determine the presence of a diagnosis and use this information to help you get support and accommodations that allow you to thrive academically, occupationally, socially and emotionally in your life. The information gained from psych evaluations can inform your doctor, psychiatrist, therapist, employer or school and guide them in how to best support your functioning.

After you've completed the intake forms, you'll receive a link to meet via telehealth for the intake appointment. During this session, your clinician will gather information about your symptoms, your history, and what you are hoping to get from the evaluation. Your clinician will then choose which testing measures to give you to help answer the referral question(s).

Come in for Testing
You'll come to our office to complete the testing measures. You may need to come for multiple testing sessions, depending on the nature and extent of the testing being done. To better understand your symptoms, your evaluator may also ask to speak with other people who know you well, such as a parent, partner, or treatment provider.
