Everybody should take the tests listed below. On BB, in the Psychological Self-Assessment Folder, you will find links to the tests and instructions for completing them. As with the Psychometrics Lab Exercises, you should be conscientious about doing this assignment because it is worth 15% of your final grade.
The last part of the lab requires that you take your psychological test results and write up a report about you based on your test results. Your report must include a discussion of all of the tests that you took:
*ADHD Quiz
*Depression Test
*Anxiety Test
*Jungian 16-Type Personality Test (Including information about careers and communication strategies)
*Five-Factor Personality Test (Including information about the Five broad personality domain and the 30 smaller personality facets.
*O*NET Interest Profiler (Including information about recommended careers based on a JobZone that you select)
The report should be organized into two broad sections:
1) Summarize what the test results reveal about you. Your summary should be a description or explanation of what the test results reveal about you. Do not simply list the test results such as, “My score on the roticism score was high. My score on Extroversion was neutral…” I want you to summarize what the tests tell you about yourself f. Stick closely to the test results; try your best at this stage to not to add information that you already about yourself. You should discuss the test results test-by-test. Simply describe what the tests say about you. What does your Jungian Type say about you? What do your high and low scores on the Five-Factor Personality test tell you about yourself? What are your career interests and recommended jobs on the O*Net?
2) Write a critique of the test results from the vantage point of your knowledge of yourself. Be sure to answer the following questions:
a) Were the test results accurate? What parts were accurate and which were not accurate? How were they inaccurate? For example, does the test say that you are high in neuroticism, but you think you are not? Did the results of the O*Net come out as you would expect? Were the recommended career areas in line with your actual career interests?
b) Were test scores consistent or inconsistent when looking at similar tests? For example, did the Five-Factor Test Extroversion score and the Jungian Introversion-Extroversion Type score given similar or different results? Did the Anxiety and Depression Quiz Scores agree with the Five-Factor Neuroticism score or its facet scores?
c) What did you learn anything about yourself that you did not know?
D) Did the test results lead you to consider some possibilities about yourself or your future that you have not considered before? For example, seeking help for a problem, considering new occupational goals
E) Do you think the tests and test results are useful/helpful or not so much? Explain
