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
Format your presentation according to APA guidelines.In the resources for Module Two, you reviewed a significant level of biological information for its impacts on development. Exposure to teratogens during sensitive periods of development presents a serious threat to the overall health of the individual. Tobacco products, alcohol, illicit drugs (marijuana, cocaine, heroin, Molly, etc.), and over-the-counter and prescription medications are common in the lives of many individuals. While the health risks would appear to make the use of these substances prohibitive during pregnancy and even after birth, there is a debate that moderate use or use under physician care is reasonably safe.
In this short paper, you will select a teratogen and identify the risks that it presents to healthy development. You will construct a position, backed by research of the use of the teratogen during pregnancy, and summarize the changes in professional opinions as they relate to your chosen teratogen.
