- Evaluate educational, intelligence, career, and personality psychological assessments by answering the following questions:
- How do you define intelligence? Can it be measured? Explain your answer. If you believe intelligence cannot be measured, what would you say about the tests that are published to accomplish this purpose?
- What are the similarities and differences between achievement and intelligence? How are the two assessed? Which assessment method do you prefer? Why?
- In most cases, intelligence and achievement tests are used to diagnose learning disabilities and determine the need for accommodation in an academic or employment setting. If psychological tests were not used, how might one determine if someone requires accommodation? How would we answer this referral question without psychological tests?
