Psychological Assessment

This unit provides instruction and practical experience in administering and scoring psychological tests as well as assessment report writing. Topics covered include the basic technical and methodological principles of testing (e.g., reliability, validity, norms and test construction) and exposure to the tests currently used by psychologists.

This includes a detailed overview of evidence-based assessments covering a range of fields in psychology: intelligence testing, personality assessment, interests and aptitude assessments, memory testing, and behavioural testing.

You will combine all this with an holistic understanding of how to integrate psychological assessment with effective psychological interventions.
