Testing Standards• Reliability

– The degree to which a procedure or test will yield the same results under the same conditions1. Test-retest reliability

2. Internal consistency

3. Inter-rater reliability

Assessment• Process of gathering information and drawing

conclusions about an one’s personality• Observations

– Controlled (analogue) observations– Naturalistic observations– Reactivity

• Interviews– Formal standardized interview

• highly structured– Mental status examination

• determine an individual’s cognitive, psychological, and behavioral functioning

Projective Personality Tests

1. Rorschach Technique

2. Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)

3. Sentence-Completion Test

4. Draw-a-Person

• Problems: - Reliability - Validity - Subjectivity

Psychological Tests and Inventories

Self-Report Inventories

• Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI and MMPI-2)

• Beck Depression Inventory• Psychometrics

Intelligence Tests

• Primary functions:– Obtain IQ– Assess deterioration in psychotic disorders

• Secondary function:– Provide clinical data

• Wechsler Scales and Stanford-Binet Scales– Intellectual functioning is related to brain wave

patterns and rate of glucose metabolism

DSM-IV-TR: The Five Axes

• Axis I: Clinical syndromes• Axis II: Personality disorders and mental

retardation• Axis III: General medical conditions• Axis IV: Psychosocial and environmental

problems– Prognosis: predict future course of disorder

• Axis V: Global assessment of functioning– Comorbidity: Co-occurrence of different disorders

Evaluation of the DSM Classification System• DSM-IV-TR: Stronger reliability and validity than

previous editions• Criticisms:

– Medical (not social/interpersonal) orientation– Lacks scientific theory for classifications– Political/practical aspects inseparable from

scientific considerations– Overlooks differences in degree of severity– Cross-cultural issues still overlooked– Question usefulness for research
