Psychological Assessment

30 hours with additional hours of clinical supervision.

This course aims to review the principles and practices of psychological assessment. The course will focus on widely used norm-referenced tests of intellectual ability, work aptitudes, personality, vocational interests, attitudes and values, and how these tests are used individually and in combination as part of psychological assessment.

Considerations will also be given to interviewing as an assessment tool. Focus will be given to the strengths, limitations, interpretation and presentation of findings from various assessment instruments. The course will develop skills in both assessment planning and report writing skills.

The course will also review the ethical and social implications of assessment in various contexts, including socially and linguistically diverse populations.

Assessed with research review discussions, supervised case reviews, and an academic paper.
