Assessment can be either formal or informal. Formal assessment usually implies a written document such as a test, checklist or paper. A formal assessment is given a numerical score or a grade based on performance, whereas an informal assessment does not contribute to quantifiable grade and may be more unstructured to include observation, self-evaluation, interviews and discussion. Assessment establishes measurable and clear outcomes, implementing a systematic way of gathering, analyzing and interpreting evidence and using the collected information for interventions or guidance.

The purpose of assessment practices depends on the theoretical framework of the practitioners and researchers, their assumptions and beliefs about the nature of the methods and its uses.

A good assessment has both validity and reliability for a specific context and purpose. It can aid in understanding of the person or situation as well as be indicators of appropriate therapy and treatment methods. In practice, an assessment is rarely totally valid or totally reliable. It needs to be done as a first step in analysis and therapy.
