ABSTRACT
The word “process” is derived from the Latin procedere, meaning to advance, to progress, to move onward. Individualized assessment directly addresses progressing. From the point of view of a human-science psychology, tests are simplified and specialized versions of challenges that also face clients elsewhere. They are challenges to clients’ progress—to their continuing the courses of their lives. Clients cope with the challenge, whether defensively, offensively, or routinely, as they cope with similar events in similar situations.
