...vocational and occupational comparisons which can then facilitate identification of occupational or career choices. TARGET GROUP: The established norm groups are high school students, college students, and adults. The 16PF, on the surface, appears to have been well criticized by the reviewers in the Burrough's Mental Measurement, but on closer examination suggests that it actually fares quite well for a personality assessment instrument. Its reliability coefficients range from .45 to .93 and has been correlated to numerous other personality instruments. TEST ADMINISTRATION: The test can be administered to groups or individuals, and requires anywhere from 35 to 60 minutes to complete, depending upon the form of the test being used. TESTING CONSIDERATION/ACCOMMODATIONS: There are 5 forms (A-E), with Forms A/B requiring a 7th-grade reading level, C/D a 5th-grade level, and Form E a 3rd grade reading level. The test can be read to poor readers or persons with sensory impairments but is most appropriate with career-minded individuals looking toward college training or individuals trying to make "tough" educational choices. It may also be useful for individuals who have a history of job-hopping. SCORING/INTERPRETATION: The 16PF requires about 30 minutes to score by hand, or 1-2 weeks if mailed off for machine scoring. The computer-generated version yields relative strengths in 8 occupational groups including artistic, community and social service, scientific professional,...

...psychiatric facility. Assessments can have either a negative or positive impact on treatment planning. Counselors who use informal assessment techniques, such as unstructured interviews may find that the information gathered is not reliable and, therefore, prone to error (Whitson, 2013, p.111). Inexperienced counselors who use unstructured interviews have been observed to focus on minor issues and have failed to collect adequate data. Unstructured interviews often take longer than structured interviews. Whitson (2013) observed that clinicians tend to be biased in their decision making and must ensure that they gather information with both sound and objective techniques (p.114). Checklists and rating scales are often combined with interviews in order to assess clients. Standardized checklists and rating scales are often...

...[pic] The Ambiguity Review Process © Richard Bender Bender RBT Inc. 17 Cardinale Lane Queensbury, NY 12804 518-743-8755 rbender@BenderRBT.com The Ambiguity Review Process Purpose: An Ambiguity Review improves the quality of requirements by making them deterministic, unambiguous, correct and complete. An Ambiguity Review is a testing technique that eliminates defects in the requirements phase of the software development lifecycle, thereby avoiding those defects from propagating to the remaining phases of the software development lifecycle. Description: Someone trained in the Ambiguity Review Process performs the Ambiguity Review. The Ambiguity Reviewer is not a domain expert, and is not reading the requirements for content, but only to identify ambiguities in the logic and structure of the wording. The Ambiguity Review takes place after the requirements (or a section of the requirements) reach first draft, and prior to them being reviewed for content, i.e., correctness and completeness by domain experts. The Ambiguity Reviewer identifies all ambiguous words and phrases on a copy of the requirements. If CaliberRM is used to capture requirements, then the ambiguities are documented directly in CaliberRM. A summary of the findings is presented to the requirements author. Deliverables: The Ambiguity Review deliverables include the following: • If the requirements are in a...
