Personality assessment and counseling psychology.

This article examines the place of personality assessment in counseling psychology. Three areas are considered: (a) the types of tests counseling psychologists use, (b) the perspective counseling psychologists apply to the use of tests, and (c) projective techniques and counseling psychology. Each area is examined, and the issues it raises for counseling psychology are presented. Some conclusions about personality assessment practices in counseling psychology are made, and several directions for future training are identified.

WAIS-R short forms with mentally retarded adults: a note of caution.

In summary, the authors found that both selected-subtest and selected-items short forms were highly correlated with the WAIS-R data. Nevertheless, neither method met the t-test and +/- 3-point IQ criteria. Therefore, the short forms examined here do not appear to be valid measures in assessing the intellectual functioning of mentally retarded adults.
