Personality Intelligence Or Educational Test

Personality, Intelligence, or Educational Test research papers take a vast amount of time to outline and write. Here is a suggestion on how Paper Masters lays out an assignment like that.

Using empirical references as the basis of your review, research either a standardized personality, intelligence or educational test and complete a summary critique/report.

The review should include:

1. General information about the test including title, author and publisher;
2. A description of the test content, purpose, structure, administration and scoring guidelines;
3. An evaluation of the reliability and validity of the test;
4. A critique of the strengths and weaknesses of using the test in an applied setting;
5. An analysis of the multicultural application of the test.

As such, it is NOT appropriate to select an online test; you must select a published test in which there is information available on the reliability and validity.
