Psych 655 Personality Assessment Instrument Critique Week Four PowerPoint Presentation

Select one psychological personality assessment instrument or inventory to serve as the basis of this assignment.

Explore the psychological literature to find three to five articles that test the use of this inventory or assessment on a specific population.

Create a 15- to 20-slide presentation of an in-depth examination of your selected test and its uses. Include the following in your presentation:

A description of the characteristics, uses, and purposes of your selected assessment instrument or inventory, and how it would be used in the workplace
An analysis of the relationship between your selected assessment and one of the major theories of personality
A summary of your research findings, paying particular attention to differences in the ability of the instrument to differentiate diagnostically between the target population and the general population
A list of psychometric properties of the test for the particular population
A discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of assessment methods used
A conclusion using a review of the literature on whether the instrument is an adequate measure of your selected characteristic, and any ethical considerations associated with your selected assessment

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
