During counseling, sometimes counselors apply tests and they later give interpretation of them. Tests collect information of the client to analyze and identify problems, a treatment or a diagnose. Test interpretation refers to the process of analyzing the answers of the test and translate them into data that is helpful to reach these goals.

A descriptive interpretation of the data is done when the counselor explains to the test taker their current situation (the current state of things, current problem, etc), they don't make interpretations but only explain what they see according to the test.

Thus, when the counselor provides information on the current status of the test taker, the counselor is giving a descriptive interpretation.
