Outline and headings for Test Review Paper - Two Personality Assessments
The use of headings is essential!!!
Title Page
Description of Personality Test #1

1. What the test attempts to measure
2. Whether it is a projective test or an objective test
3. Who the test is intended to be used with,
4. The basic principles and/or theories upon which the test is based, demographic characteristics, overall types of scores reported when using this instrument
Description of Personality Test #2
In a paragraph discuss:
1. What the test attempts to measure
2. Whether it is a projective test or an objective test
3. Who the test is intended to be used with,
4. The basic principles and/or theories upon which the test is based, demographic characteristics, overall types of scores reported when using this instrument
Three Major Differences Between Two Personality Tests
1. What are the 3 major differences between the two personality tests and why are the differences important?
2. When would one personality test be preferred over the other one?
Reference page: Where to find material on the test you choose to review:
1. Begin with the course textbook as it contains information on specific tests.
2. Next, use Google to search for the test publisher's website (i.e., Google Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) Publisher)
3. Article from peer-reviewed journal - There will be specific research studies in peer reviewed journals that researched the validity and reliability of the testing instrument your are reviewing. You want to make use of these research articles.
4. Avoid this common error - Do not use a research study that simply used the test as part of their study. For example do not use an article on treating depression that used the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). Instead find an article about how the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) was created or an article on the validity of the TAT.
5. Another error to avoid- Do not use a random test on the Internet. You must present a published psychological test that meets industry standards in the field of psychology. Again make use of the list I provided, What Tests to Use & Where to Find Them.
