Answer:
Psychodiagnostic assessment is a special process to gather data of a patient. It consists of a thorough clinical interview, and then data is collected by reviewing patient's current behaviors and previous records.
Descriptive assessment:
An assessment made on the basis of a patient's perspective.
Predictive assessment:
An assessment you build after looking into the past of a patient and then try to predict something.
