They provide indications of clinically relevant symptoms or of your individual performance or personality profile, but they are no substitute for specialist medical, psychological or psychiatric diagnostics. A confirmed diagnosis requires a structured clinical interview, a detailed history and, where appropriate, further psychometric testing.
