Reliability: The extent to which a test yields consistent results

Validity: The extent to which a test measures or predicts what it is suppose to measure

Norms: test scores of a large group who have taken the test in the past

* Psychological tests are usually administered and interpreted by a psychologist * A psychologist studies psychopathology, along with academic courses and supervision in psychological testing, are an integral part of the doctoral degree in clinical psychology. * A counselor who has had the appropriate academic courses and supervision may administer occupational tests or achievement and aptitude tests, but most counselors have not received the training to administer personality tests. * Academic courses and supervision in psychological testing are usually not a part of a psychiatrist’s medical training, so most psychiatrists can ethically administer only some specific clinical tests that are straight-forward check-lists of symptoms.

Since the 1980s, many businesses have routinely administered integrity tests (lie-detectors), to their employees. U.S. businesses lose billions of dollars each year to employee theft. Labor organizations, however, complain that integrity tests are neither reliable nor valid. They claim that many honest people have been ruined by the potentially false scoring of these tests. Which position do you side with (the employer or the labor unions) and why?

* Intelligence- no universal definition * Ability to acquire new ideas and new behavior and to adapt to new situations

* IQ- an intelligence quotient that is a score derived from one of several standardized tests designed to assess intelligence * Accurately predict success in schools, colleges, and universities

Is success in school or the ability to take a test a real indication of intelligence? Why or why not?

Usually, IQ tests measure the ability to solve certain types of problems, but do NOT directly measure the ability to pose those problems or to question the validity of problems posed by others.

Is your intelligence based on the genes for human intelligence you inherited from your parents or the environment that you grow up in? In your notes, write a short answer to that question.

Both! Twin studies show that siblings separated and raised apart will have more of a difference in IQs.

Marshmallows!

1. Purpose of the marshmallow test? How does it demonstrate EQ? * To see if young children can delay gratification * Reason over impulse is a sign of emotional intelligence Link between those who delayed gratification on the marshmallow test and academic achievement? * Delayed gratification as children- scored much higher on the SATs when they were teenagers 2. Is EQ the same as morality? How are they related? Can you teach EQ to children? * Emotional skills are morally neutral * Emotional intelligence can work with moral values for good, but also can be used to do great harm without moral values * People can be trained

* With a partner, using pages 349-create a graphic organizer that shows the various types of intelligence identified by Charles Spearman, L.L. Thurstone, Howard Gardner, and Robert Sternberg.
