The document discusses various methods used in psychological assessment, including both objective measures like standardized tests and projective tests, as well as clinical interviews. It outlines the advantages and disadvantages of different assessment approaches and how assessments are used to better understand individuals and their behavior. The document also provides examples of specific assessment tools like the MMPI-2, TAT, and astrology.
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

3. … that we get a good idea of what personality
is by listening to what we say when we use
"I". When you say I, you are, in effect,
summing up everything about yourself - your
likes and dislikes, fears and virtues, strengths
and weaknesses.
4. • Description: considers the ways in which we
should characterize and individual. Should we
described personality traits by comparing people
with one another or use strategy to study
individuals?
• Dynamics: How do people adjust their life
situations? How are they influenced by culture
and their own cognitive processes?
• Development: How does it reflect the influence
of biological factors and experience in childhood
and beyond?
5.
6. Personality assessments help explain
behavior.
Often,assessments are the only way of
understanding and explaining behavior.
7. Psychological assessments involve the
observation, measurement and evaluation of
an individual's or organization's adaptive
functioning in the modern world.
8. • Prior to any treatment or remediation can begin,
it's important to understand the nature of the
problem or difficulty.
• A psychological assessment is the necessary
first step in determining the strengths and
weaknesses in an individual's functioning when
that functioning has been called into question,
either by displaying actions that are unexpected
or by not displaying actions that are expected, in
a given circumstance or environment.

11. • Earliest form of obtaining information from clients was
through clinical interviewing
• Modeled after question and answer format
• More structured and goal-oriented mental status
examination
– By Adolf Meyer 1902
• The difficulty with unstructured interviews is that they
are still considered questionable reliability, validity, cost
effectiveness
• Standardized psychological test were developed to
overcome these limitations.
• Groth-Marmath, G. Handbook of Psychological Assessment 4th ed.
12. Content vs process – W.Synder(1945) found out
that non-directive approach was most likely
create favorable changes and self-exploration
of clients. While the directive style using
persuation, interpretation and interview
judgment may resulted a defensive client and
resistant in expressing problems.
13. • Considerable amount of research was
stimulated by C. Rogers who emphasized
understanding the proper interpersonal
ingredients necessary for standard care.
• 1960s development and formulation of
behavioral assessment, primarily in the form
of goal-directed interviews that focused on
understanding current and past reinforcers
and stablishing workable target behavior.
14. 1950s – 1960s – child assessment was
conducted primarily through interview with
parents. Direct interviews with the child were
considered to be therapeutic purposes rather
than assessment. Differential diagnosis were
unusual: almost all children were referred
were diagnosed or undiagnosed as
“adjustment reactions”.
15. Elaboration of the trend during 1960s, as well
as the increase emphasis on structured
interview.
16. Both structured and unstructured interview
allows a clinicians to place results in a wider,
more meaningful context.
Flexibility is inherent both unstructured and
structured interviews frequently the
strongest advantage over standardized tests.
Allow clinician in establishing rapport and
client self-exploration
17. Extreme disadvantage of with structured
interviews is the interviewers bias.
Structured interviews have higher
psychometric properties than unstructured
format.
18. • General consideration – interviewer style is
strongly influenced by theoritical orientation
and practical considerations.
Diagnostic interview – to develop a specific
diagnosis
Behavioral interview – based on the assumption
that change occurs because of external
consequences
Informal/Exploratory – person centered and do not
pursue formal diagnosis. Client’s coping style social
supports, family dynamics or the nature of disability
19. • History of the problem
– Description of the problem, initial onset, frequency, duration, attempts to
solve, treatments
• Family background
– Socioecomic level, parent occupation, emotional history, cultural
background, parent’s current health, family relationship, urban rural
upbringing
• Personal History
– Infancy, early and middle adulthood, medical history, toilet training,
life changes
• Miscellaneous
– Somatic concerns, self-concept (like/dislike) happiest/saddest
memory, fears

21. • Initial phase – organize the physical characteristics :
room, lighting, seating
• Introduction
• State the purpose of interview
• Explain how the information derived from the
interview be used
• Describe the confidential nature of the
information
• Explain the role of activities you would like the
client to engage in e.g. Instruments, length of
time, or formalized written contract
• Fee arrangements must be clarified
23. Objective personality tests are usually self-
report inventories.Self-report
inventories are paper-and-pen tests that
require people to answer questions about
their typical behavior. Commonly used
objective tests include the MMPI-2, the 16PF,
and the NEO Personality Inventory.
24. The MMPI-2
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality
Inventory (MMPI) was developed in the
1940s and revised in the 1980s. The revised
version is called the MMPI-2. The MMPI-2
contains a list of 567 questions. People taking
the test must answer these questions
with true, false, or cannot say.
25. The 16PF
The Sixteen Personality Factor
Questionnaire (16PF) is a test that assesses
sixteen basic dimensions of personality. It
consists of a list of 187 questions.
26. Projective personality tests require subjects
to respond to ambiguous stimuli, such as
pictures and phrases, that can be interpreted
in many different ways. Projective tests are
based on the projective hypothesis, which is
the idea that people interpret ambiguous
stimuli in ways that reveal their concerns,
needs, conflicts, desires, and feelings.
27. • The Rorschach test consists of a series of ten
inkblots. Psychologists ask subjects to look at
the inkblots and describe what they see, and the
psychologists then use complex scoring systems
to interpret the subjects’ responses. Scores are
based on various characteristics of responses,
such as the originality of the response and the
area of the blot described in the response. The
Rorschach gives information about the person’s
personality traits and the situational stresses the
subject may be experiencing.
28. • Self-report inventories are useful because
they allow clincians to get precise answers to
standardized questions. In other words, all
subjects who take a test answer the same
questions, and all subjects have to select
answers from the same range of options.
Inventories are also objective, which means
that different people scoring the same test
would score them in the same way. However,
these scores might be interpreted differently
by different people.
29. • Self-report inventories often contain transparent
questions, which means subjects can figure out
what a psychologist wants to measure.
Therefore, subjects can lie intentionally and fake
personality traits they don’t really have.
• The social desirability bias can affect responses
on self-report inventories. In other words, when
filling out an inventory, people might state what
they wish were true, rather than what is true.
• People sometimes don’t understand the
questions on the test.
• People sometimes don’t remember aspects of
the experience they are asked about.
30. (TAT) consists of a series of pictures
containing a variety of characters and scenes.
Psychologists ask subjects to make up stories
about each picture and look for themes that
run through the subjects’ responses. For
example, a person with a high need for
achievement may consistently come up with
stories that have achievement-related
themes.
31. Advantages and Disadvantages of Projective Tests
• Projective tests are useful because they allow
psychologists to assess unconscious aspects of
personality. Projective tests are also not transparent:
subjects cannot figure out how their responses will be
interpreted. Therefore, subjects cannot easily fake
personality traits on a projective test.
• A serious disadvantage of projective tests is that they
have questionable reliability and validity. Despite this
flaw, many researchers and clinicians find that such
tests give them useful information.
32. Numerology
- Pythagoras
- Various operations are performed with numbers and the results are
predictive of personality and future events
Phrenology
– Franz Gall & Johan Spurzheim (c. 1800)
Bumps on the head are associated with organs of
the brain which are in turn associated with
personality characteristics
34. • Graphology
– Analysis of personality from handwriting
– Examine handwriting as physical manifestation of
unconscious processes
– No data to support
• Techniques are reducible to impressions from such
things as pressure exerted on the page, spacing of
words and letters, size, slant, speed, and consistency
of writing.
• Content plays a role, too, though they won’t admit it.
35. Astrology
– Based on the idea that the position of the sun,
moon, stars, planets and other heavenly
bodies at some point in time influence the
personality characteristics of the perso
