Description

Systematic measurement of various aspects of people occurs in many different settings such as clinical, counselling, legal, educational and vocational guidance, and personnel settings. An introduction to the principles and techniques of psychological measurement, including consideration of what makes tests useful, how to evaluate tests and factors that are important to consider in their interpretation. Underlying many tests is a theoretical position about personality. Discussion of how aspects of personality are operationalised and measured will enable students to understand how tests relate to these theories. The practical program will provide the opportunity to explore the application of tests in a number of different settings.
