1. Questionnaire survey: By compiling a series of questions, the subjects are asked to choose or fill in the answers, so as to collect information about individual psychological characteristics, behavioral tendencies or attitudes. Questionnaire survey is often used to measure personality characteristics, mental health status and psychological stress level.
2. Project-based test: using a series of standardized projects or tasks, the subjects are required to operate or answer questions according to the specified requirements. Such as intelligence test, attention test, academic ability test, etc.
3. Clinical interview: Professional psychological counselors or clinical psychologists have face-to-face communication with the subjects to understand their personal experiences, concepts and emotional states, so as to evaluate their psychological states and needs.
4. Cognitive test: Assess the cognitive function and intelligence level of the subjects by measuring their perception, memory, attention, thinking and language ability.
5. Projection tests: such as Rorschach ink test, thematic apperception test (TAT) test, etc. By observing the responses of subjects to vague or ambiguous stimuli, we can understand their individual characteristics, emotions and psychological hints.
6. Behavior observation: By observing the behavior and communication of the subjects in a specific environment, we can understand their personality characteristics, social skills, anxiety or depression.
7. Physiological measurement: The physiological indexes of the subjects, such as heart rate, blood pressure and skin conductance, are recorded by physiological instruments to reflect their psychological state.
Each test method has its specific advantages and limitations. Choosing the appropriate test method needs to be considered comprehensively according to the specific research or evaluation purpose, the subject group and the availability of test resources. In addition, when conducting psychological tests, ethical principles should be strictly observed to ensure the confidentiality of the test process and the rights and interests of the subjects.
