What will be an ideal response?

Developmental tests are used to assess infants and young children, and are generally carried out for the purposes of screening, diagnosis, and evaluation of early development. Evaluating a child's intellectual and educational functioning is a key ingredient in clinical assessments for a wide range of childhood disorders. Projective tests present the child with ambiguous stimuli such as inkblots or pictures of people, and the child is asked to describe what she or he sees. Personality is usually considered an enduring trait or pattern of traits that characterize the individual and determine how he or she interacts with the environment (Roberts & DelVecchio, 2000). In the clinical context, neuropsychological assessment attempts to link brain functioning with objective measures of behavior known to depend on an intact central nervous system.
