They are adept at interviewing individuals and they often administer tests and interpret the results in order to check the mental abilities, aptitudes, interests, and personality characteristics of those being tested. The results of these tests may be used for psychological evaluation or for educational or vocational selection, guidance or placement. In addition, the psychological examiner practices personality appraisal or classification, personality counseling, psychotherapy, or personality readjustment techniques only under the qualified supervision of a psychologist.
