Adjustment
Adjustment tests are used to test how well a person copes or adjusts to his environment. In psychology, adjustment refers to the behavioral process of balancing conflicting needs, or needs challenged by obstacles in the environment. Successful adjustment is crucial to having a high quality of life.

Those who are unable to adjust well are more likely to have clinical anxiety or depression, as well as experience feelings of hopelessness, difficulty concentrating, sleeping problems and reckless behavior.

This might be followed by future sessions as discussed and decided by the client and the therapist.
