topics. In your paper, begin with an introduction that describes the role of assessment in
diagnosis and treatment. Using your researched articles, compare at least two
psychological or educational tests and/or assessment procedures for each of the topics
chosen. Analyze and describe the psychometric methodologies employed in the
development and/or validation of the tests and/or assessment procedures associated with
each of the three topics. Debate any relevant approaches to assessment of the
constructs being evaluated by any tests and assessments you described. Include an
analysis of any challenges related to assessing individuals from diverse social and
cultural backgrounds for each of the three topics. Conclude by evaluating the ethical and
professional issues that influence the interpretation of testing and assessment data. You
may cite from your textbook to assist you in the development of your introduction and the
conclusion of your paper; however, the textbook cannot count as one of the five required
peer-reviewed articles.
Note: It is common for there to be a delay between the time a test publisher updates a
test and the time the textbook and other authors can update their information about the
new version of the test. Be sure to do online research to make sure you are
recommending the most current version of the test. If there is a newer version than the
version discussed in the textbook or other readings, recommend the newest version.
