What is Psychometry? Who are psychometrists working in neuropsychology practices?
In today's video I want to introduce you to psychometry- a topic that is near and dear to my heart! I believe psychometrists are a critical component of some neuropsychological practices, and this video introduces the concept of psychometry to those who may not be familiar.

What is a neuropsychologist? Why go to a neuropsychologist? What do you gain?
Just had my eval. Worried about missing one of the names of a picture of a product that i was unfamiliar with not because i wouldnt recall the name of it. Pretty much thinking back on each part of the test that I know i messed up on! Would that normally be of concern? Also the fast math they had me doing! I just spaced out by that one.
I have slow processing speed. I learned to accept my self and I m writing ✍️ a book to get to know my self better. from my experience I want to help and guide other people and children
Thank you, After graduating with a master's degree in clinical psychology, can I apply to the PhD program in Neuropsychology? Actually, I'm looking for a lecture position or an academic job. Getting the post-doctoral is necessary?
This is so informative! Thank you for taking the time to create this video!
I don't believe in neuropsychology , I believe in yoga mediation wall gazing for 9 years in cave can heal any mental problems .
She’s so nonchalant about it bc this isn’t easy.
Thinking it’s funny while telling us what we already know is not helping us. We need to hear the cause and effect so we can help our children
Hi there, I am curious to know if you obtained your PhD in clinical psychology and took neuropsychology courses to become a NP, or how did that work? There is a program that I am looking into that offers PsyD for clinical psychology but I would like my focus to be neuropsychology. Maybe I missed it in the video here so my apologies if I am asking a repeat questions. Thank you so much
On April 26th, I took the WAIS-4 for a vocational rehab program. After 2+ hours, the very kind psychologist told me I had exceptional skills. He also told me he had been doing IQ testing for 40 years and he never had a result like mine.
Would you consider ECT an insult to the brain? My husband had 14 sessions to help with a major depressive episode that wasn’t responding to medication and he has not been the same. Two neurologists have seen him and concluded this isn’t a neurological degenerative condition and that his brain needs time to heal. So we know supposedly what it isn’t - but what IS he dealing with? He has a neuro psych evaluation scheduled which is how I found your channel. I hope he can find help. I hope he can find himself again
Thank you for this in depth analysis! But I just have this question that I just can’t understand despite all the information. I’m sure neuropsychologist work really close with neurologists. But neurologists have an in depth knowledge of brain functioning and cognitive functions and cts, mris etc show most of the things that a neurologists want to see to proceed to a diagnosis. For example ,If a patient is diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia by a neurologist, why would a neuropsychologist be needed? Since the neurologist already knows all the symptoms and their causes. I’m so sorry for all this confusion but I’m just so genuinely curious and interested about this career. I would really appreciate your answer !
Thank you for this. Im graduating this year and i feel myself constantly debating between med school and PhD in Neuropsychology. Everyone tells me to apply into med because the pay is significantly higher. In your experience, can you make similar pay in neuropsychology too? I’m not interested in therapy as much as I am in understanding brain-based mechanisms (how brain impacts behavior). How did you decide what to do? Is your work-life balance strong?
I have test it and love it! My previous neuropsychologist had it, she had never worked with a psychometrist & bought it for us both to read. Very helpful!!
What your schedule like? How many hrs and days a week do neuropsychologists typically work? Average pay? Are most jobs outpatient?
hi! any way I can buy a copy of your manual?
Am I able to be a psychometrist with a psychometrist certification?
I took a neuropsych evaluation test. For delayed memory I scored first percentile. My vocabulary scored 87% percentile. I have only a GED. I'm currently on SSI and unhappy in many areas of life as I used to work and function better. I could never make sense of the results very much this is the lowest score possible as i understand it. I do have ADHD and I've always had it. It's been 5 years I still do not understand how there can be such a variation in scoring.
Wonderful 🥺🥺🫶🏾♥️. Since i managed to cool down a person who had pakinsons disease im so eager to be a neuropsychologist but i just don't know where to start
I am so glad you had an experience that led you to consider a career in neuropsychology! It is a wonderful field. Depending on where you are in your educational journey, you may consider a bachelors in psychology, or a PhD/PsyD in clinical psychology. I hope that helps, and best of luck to you on your journey!
@@LearnAboutTheBrain thank you so much, I'll either do it via advanced diploma in applied psychology up to postgraduate diploma in psychology at university of south Africa since i don't have psychology background or i will just dive in straight to Bachelor of psychology as you say if things go the other way round... just like now i was rejected at that university because of space this semester. Im glad i came across your channel.. you've just restored my purpose 🥺♥️
Do they focus on cognitive issues and slow reaction time?
Thanks for the message. Yes, a neuropsychologist would look at things like your speed of processing and your cognitive skills. I hope that helps!
After having to wait 3 months since my stroke for an appointment with a cognitive therapist, I took the RBANS test & don't reallyunderstandthe results. The therapist stated I was "disinhibited" & interrupted too much (asking her to speak more slowly). I am completely disheartened with the whole process & have frankly learned more from RUclips than I have from the "medical professionals." Thanks for your video! 🙏
Thank you for your message, and I am sorry to hear you did not have a good experience with a cognitive therapist. If there is a neuropsychologist in your community, it may be helpful to reach out to them to discuss the results of testing, or to determine whether additional testing may be more beneficial to you. Nonetheless, glad the general information you're finding on RUclips is helpful. Best of luck to you on your journey!
Thank you for this great video!
Thank you for tuning in!
what happens if i do not do a doctorate?
If you are looking to become a board certified clinical neuropsychologist, you would need to complete your doctorate. I hope this helps- best of luck on your journey!
Hello, can someone do MS in Clinical Psychology without doing BS in Psychology?
Hello! Yes, if you have completed the prerequisite courses for the MS in clinical psychology, you may or may not have completed the requirements for the BS in psychology. I hope this helps- best of luck on your journey!
@@LearnAboutTheBrain Thank you for responding. I am currently researching for how to become Neuropsychologist in my country. As far as I have researched, one can't go to MS Clinical Psychology if you haven't done BS in my country...
Love this! Thx
So glad! Thanks for tuning in!
I was tested by my psychologist BUT SHE WAS SOO GREATFUL THAT SHE LET ME TEST HER FREE OF CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I wanted a male to test me. As I see women, I start to get nervous.
It is great that you have identified your preference. There are absolutely male clinical neuropsychologists, and I hope you have connected with one. Best of luck on your journey!

Thanks for watching!
Mine wasn’t as “pleasant” as yours is. I didn’t catch that mine was going to be four hours. I also didn’t expect that this was going to hurt as much as it did. My head was really spinning. I too asked for the session to end. She told me flat out I have to finish. I was clearly visually stressed and in pain. She did not care. I felt really embarrassed.
Thanks for your message, and I am sorry to hear you did not have as good of an experience as anticipated. The sessions can be long and tiring, and that can make them challenging. I hope the results were helpful, and I wish you all the best on your journey!
Thank you for sharing this video! Back in high school, I had a passion for heading into the Neuropysch field and slowly fell out of it. Now, going back to University, my passion has come back and I decided to give Neuropsych another go. I appreciate all of the information you provide. In my case, I am going for a BS in Psychology. God bless 🙏🏼
Congratulations! That is wonderful news! I hope you enjoy the field as much as I do (if not more!) and best of luck to you on your journey!
Good afternoon! I just recently completed the 5 hour Nuerophyscological Assessment and I wasn’t doing well at all and ended up tears on multiple tests, specifically the memory of stories and words repeated back and the block test. I don’t cry at all in my daily life unless warranted. Do you have any insight for me? I do have my follow up for results soon and just wanted to be prepared for it! I was told to go by a neurologist for having multiple concussions and Trauma as a teen. I appreciate your feedback! Best, Karen. :)
Hi Karen- thanks for your message, and I am sorry you struggled with some aspects of testing. It is important to test both the things that are easy, as well as those that are hard/challenging to get an accurate representation of a client's functioning. I hope you were able to share these feelings with your provider and perhaps discuss them in more detail. Best of luck to you on your journey!
Is it okay to test an older person if they are afraid of what they might learn? Or if they have anxiety about it?
This is a great question. Yes, often my clients may feel some anxiety about aspects of testing or the potential results, but I do believe that knowledge is power and that it can be empowering to truly understand the results of the evaluation. Thus, I would say that generally it is okay to test a person who may have anxiety, but that would need to be considered during the evaluation and in the interpretation of the results. Thanks for your question, and best of luck on your journey!
What sort of assessment battery do you use? WIAS/WJ COG? Just curious if you pull from multiple tests or just one as well. Thanks!
I have a tailored battery for each client, so it is hard for me to say which specific tests I use. Generally, there are multiple tests involved. Thanks for the question, and best of luck on your journey!

All of my immediate family had some form of dementia so I have been trying to educate myself on this condition. Could you give us some examples of cognitive stimulating activities? I have just discovered you videos - thanks so much for doing them,
Thank you for your message. I think about cognitively stimulating activities as anything that is allowing someone to learn something new. For example, it may be watching RUclips videos to learn how to fix a broken watch, or it could be trying out a new puzzle. It doesn't have to be a formal program, just something to work the "brain muscle." I hope this helps, and I wish you all the best on your journey!
Thank you
Thank you for watching!
🙂I also just wanted to say thanks for this particular "thought inspiring" video Dr. Christine Ghilain! And quite sincerely I have really enjoyed watching several of your other videos as well~So please do keep sharing them whenever you can😊
Thank you for your message, and your kind words! I promise I am planning to launch new content, and look forward to sharing it soon. Best of luck on your journey!
I go for an exam soon... can't remember when, but I'm epileptic. Lost my memory 133 days ago. Thank you for the information
My pleasure- thank you for watching. Best of luck on your journey!
@@LearnAboutTheBrain thank you... it's definitely different when you're used to everything being normal
Hello! I am in the process of gaining a BS in Social Science with a major in Psychology and recently gained interest in Neuropsychology. Could you kindly inform me if choosing a path in clinical psychology would be easier for a student such as myself toward a neuropsychology path? Additionally, since neuropsychology is a specialization within clinical psychology, do they tend to earn more as well?
Thanks for your message. Neuropsychologists, as you mention, are clinical psychologists who complete supplemental and specialized training in brain behavior relationships. So, your plan to seek a degree in clinical psychology is the right path! Income levels vary more on the setting (e.g., academic medical vs. private practice, for example) so it is hard to say one specialty makes more money than another. I hope this helps, and best of luck on your journey!
Hello, i am looking to purchase your book, could you please provide me with a link!
Thank you for your message. The book can be found on amazon (www.amazon.com/Neuropsychologists-Guide-Training-Psychometrists-Psychological/dp/0367564971/ref=sr_1_1?crid=12NWT36HNYYL5&keywords=a+neuropsychologist+s+guide+to+training+psychometrists&qid=1687523075&sprefix=a+neuropsycho%2Caps%2C72&sr=8-1) or Routledge's website (www.routledge.com/A-Neuropsychologists-Guide-to-Training-Psychometrists-Promoting-Competence/Ghilain/p/book/9780367564971). I hope this helps!
Wow. I didnt even know i needed to know this information before watching this video. Thank you very much for sharing 👍👍
Thank you for watching- I wish you all the best on your journey!
sigh i have one in a few weeks
I hope the exam went well for you, and wish you well on your journey!
It's good to have a video. A lot of therapists and social workers don't have any understanding of neuropsychologist evaluation.
Thank you for your message, and I am glad that you found it helpful! Best of luck on your journey!
Hiii! I’m looking for some type of guidance with the written exam for board certification. How do I connect?
Thank you for your message. Feel free to fill out the form on my Contact page (thebrainhealthconsultant.com). Good for you for seeking board certification! I wish you well on your journey!
Thank you for creating your channel and videos! Few people in my school really know what neuropsychologists do! This autumn, I will start my first year studying cognitive neuropsychology and your content reassures my desire to study in this domain.
Thank you for your message- I wish you well on your journey!
Please reply me
CanNeuropsychologist help me ?
This is a general information channel, so I am unable to comment on whether or not a neuropsychologist may or may not be helpful in someone's individual case. I recommend reaching out to a local provider to discuss your personal information and to enter into a doctor/patient relationship. Thank you for your message.
