JOSEPH Test Evaluation An Assignment Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Course PSYC 620: Psychological Testing and Assessment INSTRUCTOR: Anne Akpaka M.Sc, PhD (cand.) By Judy Joseph July 07th, 2015 Approval……………….. What is a psychological test? Cronbach defines this as: “A test is a systematic procedure for comparing the behavior of two or more persons” (1990 p. 21). Cronbach’s definition suggests that the procedure for comparing behavior is systematic, however the system that is generally used to measure behavior is standardized. For example, the MMPI and MYERS-BRIGG are standardized. As the terminology states, standardized tests usually present a standardized set of questions under standardized conditions, with responses from the individuals being collected in a standardized format, scored and interpreted based on standardized norms. The objective is that all individuals essentially take the same test under the same conditions. Psychological Test 1 - Dementia Rating Scale (DRS-2) (AssessmentPsychology.com) A Dementia Rating Scale (DRS-2) was designed to measure and track mental status in adults with cognitive impairment, using a population of adults between the ages of 56 and 105.

    What is “normal?” How do we define and categorize someone under the “normal” standards when everyone is different? When discussing what is qualitatively and quantitatively different from “normal” we look at characteristics of what normal is and what is considered to be different from “normal” to place it into a category of either disabilities or health issues. Though these symptoms are considered to be qualitatively different from “normal”, they are also quantitatively different because these symptoms can also fit other categories besides a specific disorder.

The test is designed to remove potentially harmful drivers, but with its traumatic hypnosis, it could cause mental instability. In the test, the new driver is hypnotized and they visualize that they are in a fatal car accident. However, to some this may cause post-traumatic stress disorder or other mental disorders such as mild to extreme anxiety. The opposition may claim that drivers who go through the test are “more careful for the rest of their lives” (Thomas); however, even if the driver never agrees to drive or they go through treatment, they may have life-long consequences.
