Keywords: psychology; psychodiagnostics; method; test; psychodiagnostic reasoning

Summary/Abstract: The authors point out that psychodiagnostics must not be understood as a set of specific methods and tests, which are described in textbooks and manuals, and which can be more or less simply used to diagnose some psychichological personality quqlities, states, etc. What is essential and overlooked in psychodiagnostics is the need to formulate the problem, consider the context, the need for depth of diagnostic scope, etc. Furthermore, the authors go through some selected areas of psychodiagnostics, such as clinical procedures, procedures using projective methods, etc. The authors still point out the need to justify what is diagnosed, why and how best.
