A child custody assessment is an investigation by a psychologist, psychiatrist or social worker. The assessor interviews the parents to determine their parenting abilities. If the assessor is a psychologist, the assessor will also conduct psychological testing of the parents. The assessor also meets with the children to determine what the children's preferences are and what the children have to say about their relationship with each parent. 1, record 1, English, - child%20custody%20assessment

How does an Inkblot test tell the psychologist someting about personality? The inkblots don’t really do anything. What's important is what people say about the image they see. You might say that the inkblots act as a mirror of the mind. 1, record 2, English, - inkblot
