Introduction to Assessment #3

The major concerns associated with personality testing are [blank_start]social[blank_end] desirability, faking good or bad, and [blank_start]random[blank_end] [blank_start]responding[blank_end].

The Rorschach inkblot test is an example of what type of projective technique?

House-Tree-Person is an example of what type of projective technique?

An example of a trait inventory is the:

The four main variables that maintain or reinforce target behaviors are a[blank_start]ttention[blank_end], t[blank_start]angible[blank_end], a[blank_start]voidance[blank_end], and s[blank_start]ensory[blank_end] s[blank_start]timulation[blank_end].

[blank_start]Fluid[blank_end] intelligence is primarily inherited and involves the ability to be adaptive and flexible in solving new problems; [blank_start]crystallized[blank_end] intelligence is primarily learned and involves the ability to solve problems and make decisions on the basis of acquired knowledge.

In general, the WPPSI-III is an intelligence test administered to individuals in what age range?

This test is used to measure intelligence and cognitive abilities in individuals ages 2-85, and has two routing tests, one for verbal and one for nonverbal domains:

This is the theory on which most intelligence tests are based:

The main difference between trait and type approaches to personality is that:

[blank_start]Crystallized[blank_end] intelligence increases as we age, whereas [blank_start]fluid[blank_end] intelligence drops off.

This theorist developed a triarchic theory of intelligence, using an information-processing perspective:

This theorist criticized existing tests of intelligence for being primarily measures of verbal, spatial, and logical reasoning while ignoring other abilities that are, in some ways, more important in adapting to the environment and solving real-world problems; he went on to identify eight relatively independent intelligences:

Borkowski added the concept of [blank_start]metacognition[blank_end] to the theory of intelligence.

In general, the WISC-IV is an intelligence test administered to individuals in what age range?

In general, the WAIS-IV is an intelligence test administered to individuals in what age range?

What are the standardized scores of the Wechsler intelligence scales?

What are the standardized scores of the subtests in the Wechsler intelligence scales?

Which intelligence test, when compiling its standardization sample, excluded anyone who was uncooperative, had sensory deficits, or any confounding condition that could throw off the data?

An advantage of the SB-5 is that it has a [blank_start]high[blank_end] ceiling and a [blank_start]low[blank_end] floor.

A person's crystallized knowledge is tied to his or her culture.

The SB-5 as a whole has a mean of [blank_start]100[blank_end] and a standard deviation of [blank_start]15[blank_end]. The subtests have a mean of [blank_start]10[blank_end] and a standard deviation of [blank_start]3[blank_end].

In addition to yielding a mental processing index and a fluid-crystallized index, it also yields a nonverbal index, which makes it very adaptable.

The mental processing index of the KABC-II is based on what model?

Which intelligence test included children with intellectual disabilities, gifted children, and children with emotional problems in its standardization sample?

The Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test II is broader in content than the Mini Mental State Exam.

The CAGE, a tool used to assess alcohol use in men, stands for C[blank_start]utting[blank_end] [blank_start]down[blank_end], A[blank_start]nnoyed[blank_end] [blank_start]by[blank_end] [blank_start]criticism[blank_end], [blank_start]Guilty[blank_end] feelings about drinking, and [blank_start]Eye[blank_end]-[blank_start]opener[blank_end].

The TWEAK, a tool used to assess alcohol use in women, stands for T[blank_start]olerance[blank_end], [blank_start]Worried[blank_end] friends and relatives, [blank_start]Eye[blank_end]-[blank_start]opener[blank_end], A[blank_start]mnesia[blank_end], and [blank_start]Kut[blank_end] [blank_start]down[blank_end].

Your client said 'Yes' to one of the probes in the CAGE assessment, therefore he should receive more assessment.

What is the biggest concern in achievement testing?

One's personality is essentially stable by what age/age range?

What is the most common way to assess personality?

The Thematic Apperception Test is an example of what type of projective technique?

What are some cons of projective testing techniques?

A phenomenological approach to personality assessment allows you to get into the inner world of the client. An example of this type of assessment would be:

These are measures of abnormal personality:

Behavioral goals and objectives should be M[blank_start]easurable[blank_end], O[blank_start]bservable[blank_end], P[blank_start]ositive[blank_end], and D[blank_start]oable[blank_end].

Self-monitoring is the most powerful type of direct observation.

This is a type of social desirability in which people behave differently when they know they are being watched:

The PASS model of intelligence stands for P[blank_start]lanning[blank_end], A[blank_start]ttention[blank_end]-Arousal, S[blank_start]imultaneou[blank_end]s processing, and S[blank_start]uccessive[blank_end] processing.

The main difference between achievement testing and aptitude testing is that achievement looks [blank_start]backward[blank_end], and aptitude looks [blank_start]forward[blank_end].

The SAT, ACT, MAT, and GRE are all examples of this type of commonly used test:
