Wed, 03 Jan 2024 18:49:20 +0000

More and more employees are having to sit psychometric tests as part of the interviewing process. On paper, a person’s skills and experience may perfectly fit the job description, but the employer also wants to know things about the individual’s personality: for example, their weak and strong points; whether they will fit in with the department; whether they can retain information quickly; and whether they have management potential or whether they will always require supervision. This book is designed to help the individual master taking psychometric tests, and help them decide, before applying for a job, what their individual personality type is – extrovert, emotional, creative or assertive. Working through the tests will give the reader the ability to improve their skills in the key areas of lateral thinking, problem solving, and intelligence, and the book also provides a guide to assessing performance.

Sequential Analysis

Thu, 02 Nov 2023 14:32:08 +0000

In 1943, while in charge of Columbia University’s Statistical Research Group, Abraham Wald devised Sequential Design, an innovative statistical inference system. Because the decision to terminate an experiment is not predetermined, sequential analysis can arrive at a decision much sooner and with substantially fewer observations than equally reliable test procedures based on a predetermined number of observations. The system’s immense value was immediately recognized, and its use was restricted to wartime research and procedures. In 1945, it was released to the public and has since revolutionized many aspects of statistical practice. This book is Professor Wald’s own description of the system. Part I contains a discussion of the general theory of the sequential probability ratio test, with comparisons to traditional statistical inference systems. Part II discusses applications that illustrate the general theory and raise points of theoretical interest specific to these applications. Part III outlines a possible approach to the problem of sequential multi-valued decisions and estimation. All three sections can be understood by readers with only a background in college algebra and a first course in calculus. Mathematical derivations of somewhat intricate nature appear in the appendix. Sequential Analysis offers statistical researchers a time- and money-saving approach, introduces students to one of the major systems in contemporary use, and presents those already acquainted with the system with valuable background information.

Family Assessment: Effective Uses of Personality Tests with Couples and Families (Wiley Series in Couples and Family Dynamics and Treatment)

Fri, 14 Apr 2023 18:15:09 +0000

Although psychological tests are used to shed light on individual personalities and behaviors, they can also be powerful tools for assessing interactional patterns and relationships. Family Assessment is the first book devoted exclusively to the application and interpretation of psychological tests in couples and family therapy. Using case examples, this book offers concrete, clinical advice on how to interpret test results to gain a better understanding of interpersonal compatibility, family dynamics, and systemic functioning. The book opens with a detailed look at how and why various psychological tests can be applied to family relationships. Separate chapters cover the use and interpretation of each of the major personality tests, including the MMPI/MMPI-2, MCMI-III, 16PF, MACI, Rorschach, and the Kinetic Family Drawing. Family Assessment also presents overall principles and practices in testing couples and using the results actively in couples therapy, regardless of which inventory is used. This is followed by a complete description of the integrated use of a full battery of tests with family members. The numerous case studies featured in this book illustrate the best ways to use psychological tests to understand couples and family dynamics and how the test results can be successfully integrated into the therapeutic process. Also included are substantive chapters on the use of psychological tests to assess specialized family problems, which address testing in circumstances of family violence and child abuse, as well as the use of tests in helping divorcing families and dealing with custody issues. Also addressed are the issues of whether or not to test, the costs involved, and the education and training needed to utilize tests in a practice. The future directions of psychological assessment with couples and families are also examined. With the increasing number of dysfunctional couples and families, any procedure or process that can help us better understand their troubles deserves attention. Family Assessment should be on the bookshelf of every therapist, psychologist, and social worker who is dedicated to serving the needs of such clients. A practical guide to the interpersonal/family applications of psychological tests. Despite the increasing receptivity to an integration of the inter- and intrapersonal in family therapy and family psychology, classical psychological testing has not been systematically or practically applied to these fields. Family Assessment is designed to address this deficiency, providing psychologists and therapists with useful ways to apply individually focused psychological tests to couples and families and interpret the results within a systemic family framework. The book describes in detail the use and interpretation of the major personality tests, including MMPI/MMPI-2, MCMI-III, 16PF, MACI, Rorschach, and the Kinetic Family Drawing. Showing how such testing can enhance the understanding of and intervention with couples and families, Family Assessment integrates this usage with everyday psychological treatment. Special chapters cover the use of tests to assess specific kinds of family problems, such as violence and sexual abuse, and offer predictions about the future of psychological assessment of couples and families.
