I’m working on a psychology discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.

 

Consider the numerous ways psychological testing has been used over the years and how it has evolved to what it is today.

Respond to the following:

What are current purposes and methods of psychological assessments?

How are psychosocial assessments used in psychological treatment or as a foundation for a more comprehensive psychological evaluation?

How have the current methods evolved from previous methods? Why was there a need for them to evolve (i.e., any negative consequences of previous psychological testing)?

What are some factors that make a good psychological test?
