Which of the following uses systematic testing procedures to evaluate abilities, behaviours, and personal qualities of individuals?

Psychological assessment

The correct answer is Option 2: Psychological assessment

Psychological assessment is the process that involves the systematic use of testing procedures to evaluate various aspects of a person's psychological functioning. This includes:

• Abilities (like intelligence or aptitude)

• Behaviours

• Personality traits

• Emotional functioning

It often involves the use of standardized tests, interviews, observations, and questionnaires to gather comprehensive information about an individual.

Other options :

• Interview – A method used within psychological assessment but not comprehensive by itself.

• Psychometric approach – Focuses specifically on the measurement of psychological attributes (like IQ, personality), but it is a theoretical approach, not the entire assessment process.

• Psychological attributes – These are the traits or characteristics being assessed, not the method.
