What is the purpose of psychological tests?

To diagnose mental disorders
To evaluate an individual’s intelligence
To measure personality traits
To all of the above

The correct answer is: To all of the above

Psychological tests serve multiple purposes, including diagnosing mental disorders, evaluating intelligence, and measuring personality traits. Although all three options may be valid reasons for using psychological tests, none of the other individual options fully encompass the complete purpose. Therefore, the correct answer is D, to encompass all of the above purposes. Option A may only focus on diagnosing disorders and not consider other aspects of an individual's mental health. Option B may solely focus on intelligence and overlook important personality traits. Similarly, option C may only consider personality traits and not take into account other potential concerns.
