This includes his or her interests, ability/intellectual level, achievement level, and personality type. Findings contain the Strong Interest Inventory, the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales (RIAS), the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, Fifth Edition (SB5), the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the End-of-Course-Tests (EOCT), and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Each section will answer key questions and give a short description of the given assessment tool. The goal of the paper is to understand the assessment tools available to discover the differences in students so that a teacher can adapt instruction to their needs. I. Interests A. Strong Interest Inventory The Strong Interest Inventory’s theoretical framework was developed in 1974 by John Holland. This theory is represented by a hexagon with the six themes that characterize most people. The order of the themes is called the R-I-A-S-E-C order and those most closely related are adjacent and those most dissimilar are across from each other. The Strong Interest Inventory assesses which theme or combination of themes characterizes an individual. The inventory contains 291 items that cover occupation, subject area, activities...

...History of Intellectual Assessment Ashee D. Niland Psy300 Dr. Dan Erickson University of Phoenix History of Intellectual Assessments What is intelligence? How can we discover how intelligent we are or even where intelligence comes from? The assessment of intelligence started a long time ago in the BC era and as time progressed developed into so much more with intelligence testing. Intelligence tests are test designed to measure the ability to think and reason rather than acquired knowledge. “Intelligence involves the ability to think, solve problems, analyze situations, and understand social values, customs, and norms” (Logston, YYYY). Although the different psychologist had different points of views about how to measure intelligence, they all made an impact on intelligence testing in their time period. In this paper we will discuss the men that discovered what kind of test could be used in testing intelligence, who they are, and more about what intelligence is. We will discuss the history of intellectual assessment. We will also discuss how intellectual functioning can have an impact on your personal success. Some of the key figures in intellectual assessment will be discussed in this such as Jene Piaget, David Wechsler, Lewis Terman, and Alfred Binet. Key People in Intellectual Assessments As we begin speaking about the key people in intellectual assessments we ask that you take note in the combination of them all! With the study of only one of these men and their...

...History of Psychological Assessment XXXXXXXXXX PSYCH/525 August 29, 2011 Dr. Alexis Hernandez History of Psychological Assessment The history of psychological assessment is a fascinating story and has abundant relevance to present-day practices. Psychological assessment refers to scientific techniques psychologists often use to identify the human personality. Psychological assessment is a process that involves the integration of information from multiple sources, such as tests of normal and abnormal personality, tests of ability or intelligence, tests of interests or outlooks, as well as information from interviews (Framingham, J. 2011). Psychological assessment is one of the most important parts in applied psychology. In this paper writer will explore the historical roots of psychological assessment, explain why the event is significant, and how it has affected the development of psychological testing in the 21st century. Psychological Testing is the core of Clinical Psychology focusing on the measurement of traits, human abilities, and characteristics. Psychologists primarily use the various tests to measure cognitive, intelligence, and personality traits (Framingham, J. 2011). For example, the civil service selection system in China is used to recruit officials according to merits rather than political or family association. Exams were introduced in the Han dynasty. This played a very important role in Chinese intellectual and social life from as early as 2200 B...

The American Association On Intellectual And Developmental Disabilities create an outline of what is to be considered an intellectual disability. Their intellect has to considerably limit their ability to properly express the appropriate social behavior while also limiting their adaptive skills within the community and interaction with others. The disability has to be identified before the person is of the age of 18. It also There are also different approaches which should be looked into when classifying a person with intellectual disabilities. Medical professionals have to rate the imparity on a scale indicating if it is mild, moderate, severe, or profound. Without these classifications the proper educational support plan cannot be put into place. The classification also helps with what kind of support the individual will need at home outside of the school setting. About 10% of children in the United States between the ages of 6 through 21 have some kind of intellectual disabilities label. The characteristics which are considered to be intellectually disabled would be having memory or learning deficiencies, troubles with memory recall, or apply abstract thought. These students also have trouble controlling their behavior also known as self-regulation. Their adaptive skills are also hard to apply to real life situations being able to...

...Examination of Clinical Psychology Lisa Brown PSY/480 April 6, 2015 William Philadelphia Examination of Clinical Psychology This paper will be providing an examination of clinical psychology. This examination will include discussing the history and evolving nature of clinical psychology, the role of research and statistics in clinical psychology, and the differences between clinical psychology and other mental health professions such as social work, psychiatry, and school psychology. History of Clinical Psychology The field of psychology was born in 1892 with the American Psychological Association being founded. Clinical psychology was born four years later, in 1896 with the first psychological clinic being opened at the University of Pennsylvania. Lightner Witmer opened this clinic and provided the ability to apply psychological philosophy to human illness (Reisman, 1991). Many of Witmer’s colleagues did not like the idea of using the science of psychology on real clinical problems. Even though Witmer’s thoughts and ideas were not well received at that time, he was still able to open the clinic and provide programs for children struggling with school-related issues (Plante, 2011). The development of tests to help explore the mental abilities in children grew with the Binet-Simon intelligence scale that was created for testing children in 1904. The scale was renamed Stanford-Binet in 1916 when a psychologist at Stanford University revised the scale...

...implicitly refer to the knowledge of a single human being but many of them can be extended to apply to organizations.) ---- Oppapers.com ----- The relationship between organizational learning and organizational knowledge and the affect knowledge management has on both is at once undeveloped and immature-in its basis and orientation to organizations-as it is in another instance burgeoning and unknown. Carl Sagan the great physicist and astronomer was accustomed to saying about the universe as comprising “Billions and billions, and billions of stars”; well as much may be said of the field of knowledge management with respect to its breadth and depth. Studies and the assembled base of research captured in and by the sampling of articles this paper will use to support this discussion of these three daunting, yet weighty entry points give the assembled body of academe and student reason for pause as well as concern. Pause because just as the era of Sagan’s Astronomy exposed the viewing...

...The question is “Who are the notable African Americans who have earned Ph.D.s in mathematics?” Would researching the answer be significant? Is it important in the science of mathematics to investigate whether five Ph.D.s awarded to five African Americans between 1925 and 2000 imparts enough impact to the field to fill the gap in the canon of mathematics and history? My intention with this paper is to offer the reader the opportunity to consider the field of mathematics in which five individuals have made and are making contributions, while at the same time suggesting that their path to their achievements were unusual. The first section of this paper is a summary of these five. The second section is concise and provides an overview of how many math Ph.D.s, were awarded to African Americans during that same period. The next two sections examine the contributions and mathematical achievements in general and the barriers and psychology that perhaps has created a dismal increase in underrepresented populations entering the field. The final section highlights the importance and implication of stagnate educational pipelines. In addition, I would like to stretch the mind to consider educational practices, as we know them now and to urge the reader to, bear in mind that in the 21st century, we need the talents, contributions and resources of all citizens in United States. A Summary of Five Ph.D.s in Math from 1925 to 2000 While there are numerous achievements by minorities...

...Examination of Clinical Psychology Steven Billingsley University of Phoenix PSY 480 Cindy Fouhy 02/01/14 Examination of Clinical Psychology Clinical psychology is an area of psychology which seeks to find and understand the various behavioral problems humans possess, and the possible psychological problems and disorders. “According to the APA, clinical psychology attempts to use the principles of psychology to better understand, predict, and alleviate intellectual, emotional, biological, psychological, social, and behavioral aspects of human functioning (APA, 2009a)”(Plante, 2011, pg. 5). For one to gain a better understanding of clinical psychology, the history and evolving nature of clinical psychology must be discussed, the role of research and statistics must be explained, and the differences between clinical psychology and other mental health professions must be discussed. The items listed will be addressed and examined throughout this paper. History of Clinical Psychology In the later part of the 1800’s, psychology was being discovered in several laboratories in different universities. The field of psychology was insisting and leaning more on pure science as the main practice, but a former student of Wilhelm Wundt, named Lightner Witmer, made an impact and changed that view on psychology (Pickren, 2009).

...peer ability grouping are well documented, resistance to their use continues because of concerns that such practices will cause social or emotional harm to students. Education is the most important aspect of Korean life. As an Elementary school teacher, one must realize the significance of the young intellectual mind. Children unlike adults learn in a pedagogical style, meaning they are like "sponges" and "soak in" what the teacher teaches. How do parents describe the type of teaching and learning style expected in Korea? We as teachers, educators and administrators need to know about our students’ family life, history, and perceptions of education from past experiences. We can then provide better quality education for all students, parents and stakeholders. My home school avoids assessment that benefits primarily the institution, parents and stakeholders. The stress young children have to perform on a daily basis is quite heart-breaking. It isn’t necessary for children to study in such a competitive environment. In terms of assessment, we avoid traditional types of testing. My students, explore, create and accomplish tasks as an informal way of assessment. We focus on self-assessment such as log books, notebooks and pictures designed by the students. They are able to track these records and show their parents with pride. They have a genuine sense of accomplishment. BYOD (Bring your own device) including Smart-phones along with I-pads are ways of introducing instruction using technology...
