Intelligence and Achievement Paper
This week we began exploring the applications of psychological testing in the educational setting. In this exercise, you will use a standard psychological reference to evaluate the psychometric properties of 1 intelligence test and 1 achievement test.
Imagine you are a teacher at a local high school and have been asked to evaluate an intelligence test and achievement test. You will present your findings to your colleagues at the school.
Access the Mental Measurements Yearbook from the University Library by following these steps:
Click on Publications at the top of the library page.
Type “Mental Measurements Yearbook” into the search box.
Click on Mental Measurements Yearbook with Tests in Print.
Select a test and type a test name into the search box to open a specific test.
Note: You will be using an EBSCOhost search engine, but you will be searching within the Mental Measurements Yearbook.
Select 1 assessment of intelligence and 1 assessment of academic achievement.
Write a 500-word description of each of your tests using information from the Mental Measurements Yearbook in which you:
Include a general description of your test.
Evaluate each test for normative procedures, reliability, validity, and bias.
Part 2
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
Evaluate educational, intelligence, career, and personality psychological assessments by answering the following questions:
How do you define intelligence? Can it be measured? Explain your answer. If you believe intelligence cannot be measured, what would you say about the tests that are published to accomplish this purpose?
What are the similarities and differences between achievement and intelligence? How are the two assessed? Which assessment method do you prefer? Why?
In most cases, intelligence and achievement tests are used to diagnose learning disabilities and determine the need for accommodation in an academic or employment setting. If psychological tests were not used, how might one determine if someone requires accommodation? How would we answer this referral question without psychological tests?
