Eh, I'd say it's a hard science. People argue that since it's mostly qualitative data that it isn't a hard science, but qualitative data goes a long way, especially when the scientific method is appropriately applied. And at any rate it's the most accurate way we have for classifying human behavior, which tends to make it much harder to quantify.

Both, Science and Arts

One is essentially neuroscience with a few extra components, the other is sociology on an individual level.

This.

It is kind of a mix of the sciences.

How is it social? It whitewashes social aspects of life. So like I have to travel 30 miles for a one hour evaluation?

Its a social science because it studies how people behave and interact with one another.

Psychology is the study of the self; and sociology is the study of the group (for a better description).
