Applications In Personality Testing

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 8 and 9 in the textbook and carefully review Section 4 of Chapter 7 in the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (2006) guide, Testing and Assessment: A Guide to Good Practices for Workforce Investment Professionals (Links to an external site.). In addition, review all the required articles for this week, as well as the MMPI-3 Case Description: Mr. J – Interpretive Report Download MMPI-3 Case Description: Mr. J – Interpretive Reportand the PSY640 Week Four Psychological Assessment Report Download PSY640 Week Four Psychological Assessment Report.

For this discussion, you will take on the role of a psychologist who was recently assigned two new clients. You will examine psychological assessment information presented in two different formats: a computer generated interpretative report of personality test results for the patient Mr. J and a psychological report written by a licensed psychologist for the patient Ms. S. In your initial post, you will examine the personality assessment instruments used in each report.

Carefully review the MMPI-3 Case Description: Mr. J – Interpretive Report Download MMPI-3 Case Description: Mr. J – Interpretive Report; this patient was referred to you at a community mental health center after he was discharged from at a crisis stabilization unit. Write a one-paragraph summary of the computer generated MMPI-3 results for Mr. J based on the information in the interpretive report. Note: Your summary should primarily present test results, not the background information on Mr. J’s case.

In your role as the psychologist who evaluated Ms. S., examine the personality and ability testing results in the PSY640 Week Four Psychological Assessment Report Download PSY640 Week Four Psychological Assessment Report. In your next meeting with Ms. S, you will be required to give her a copy of the psychological assessment report and discuss the results with her by explaining the psychological concepts effectively observing appropriate professional standards. In order to share this discussion with your colleagues, you will create a video of a three- to five-minute assessment feedback session. Begin with a 1-2 sentence summary of the reason the client was referred for testing and devote the remainder of the time summarizing the test results, diagnoses and recommendations. Do not repeat history information about the client in the assessment feedback session. Be sure to report and summarize the most important information from the psychological testing in language your client can understand. You may use any software you choose to create your video. Quick-Start Guides are available for Screencast-O-Matic (Links to an external site.) for your convenience. You may also record the video on your phone or computer and upload it into a site such as YouTube. Once you have created your video, include the link in your initial post.

In your initial post, provide an evaluation of the contents of both psychological evaluations in terms of ethical standards and the professionalism of the interpretation of the testing and assessment data presented. Write an analysis of the psychometric methodologies employed in the development and validation of the MMPI-3 personality test used with both clients. Develop a list of at least two additional tests of personality or emotional functioning to administer to the two clients that demonstrate acceptable validity. Justify your inclusion of each additional assessment measure in terms of the validity of the assessment measure and your clients’ presenting concerns, diagnosis, and prognosis.
