The code of ethics outlines standards for psychological assessment including ensuring assessments are based on adequate information and techniques, obtaining informed consent, using valid and standardized tools appropriately, keeping test data secure, explaining results, and ensuring only qualified individuals conduct and interpret assessments. It also covers developing new assessment tools using proper scientific procedures.
These are slides from a webinar from APA's Online Academy series. (http://apaonlineacademy.bizvision.com/)
Conducting psychological assessments can be one of the most ethically challenging areas of practice. Providing evaluations that are accurate, useful and consistent with the latest advances in research and theory are only a few of these challenges. This workshop will review several ethical issues of concern that graduate students who are engaged in assessment need to be attentive to. The ethical issues to be covered include informed consent, multicultural considerations, release of test data, third party requests for services, and assessment in the digital age. The workshop will be useful for identifying ethical pitfalls and for ensuring that diagnosis, and assessment are as valid and useful as possible for both clinicians and clients.

American psychologist Henry Murray developed a theory of personality that was organized in terms of motives, and needs. Murray described a need as a potentiality or readiness to respond in a certain way under certain given circumstances.
Theories of personality based upon needs and motives suggest that our personalities are a reflection of behaviors controlled by needs.
The Culture Fair Intelligence Test (CFIT) was conceived by Raymond B. Cattell in 1920s. It is a nonverbal instrument to measure your analytical and reasoning ability in the abstract and novel situations. The test includes mazes, classifications, conditions and series. Such problems are believed to be common with all cultures. That’s the reason that the testing industry claims it free from all cultural influences.
Please let me know if you are interested to purchase CFIT.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
