Application Assignment:   Summarize the presenting problem of the virtual client and create a hypothesis

In this week’s Assignment, apply your knowledge of test selection and evaluation to personality assessment. You select a personality test that might be appropriate for your virtual client based on the presenting information. In addition, you practice integrating the hypothetical results of a personality test to increase your understanding of the particular dynamics of your client and his or her presenting problem.

The Assignment (6–7 pages):

Part A:

•         Summarize the presenting problem of the virtual client and create a hypothesis. Virtual client link: http://mym.cdn.laureate-media.com/2dett4d/Walden/CPSY/6341/08/mm/psych_assessment/index.html. (Note: The client I selected is Sean Brody).

•         Select a personality test from the Mental Measurements Yearbook. (Note: I have already selected the test, please see attachment below).

•         Evaluate and explain why this test is most appropriate for assessing the client’s personality and justify your selection.

Part B:

•         Evaluate the Mock Assessment Results provided below.

•         Explain whether the evaluation results support or invalidate your hypothesis of the presenting problem.

•         Justify your response.

•         Briefly describe which additional psychological tests or assessment methods you might consider for your client.

•         Explain two ways that you might integrate the evaluation results into client treatment planning and why.
