The Joint Committee on Testing Practices (JCTP) reduced the 86 competencies of assessment into seven broad factors. What are these factors?
CAPSII

Comprehensive Assessment, appropriate use of norms, proper test use, psychometric knowledge, scoring accuracy, integrity of test results, interprative feedback
Alfred Binet
conceptualized intelligence as a general abiity to judge, comprehend and to reason well. He developed a series of measures by which he could identify children whom needed special educational programs based on his definition of intelligence
Lewis Terman
At Stanford university he revised and standardized Binet’s test for use in the U.S. It became the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale. He devised the concept of IQ
John Carroll
3 stratum theory of intelligence

3 strata include g (mental ability factor), eight subfactors, and narrower abilities
Jack Naglieri
Developed the Cognitive Assessment System
Howard Gardner
Proposed a Theory of Multiple Intelligences, which includes the following intelligences:

Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"):
Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")
Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
Musical intelligence ("music smart")
Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")
Robert Sternberg
proposed a triarchic theory of intelligence with each of the 3 factors made up of several different elements that interact with one another. The 3 factors are cognitive, creative, and practical. His Intelligence test has not yet been published.
James Cattell
Worked with Carroll on 3 stratum theory. Also came up with the terms fluid and crystallized intelligence
Lloyd Dunn
Developed Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test
Fluid Intelligence
ability to be adaptable and flexible in solving new problems.
Crystallized Intelligence
ability to solve problems and make decisions on the basis of acquired knowledge, experiences, and verbal conceptualizations.
Four Methods of Constructing Personality Inventories
1)Logical Content
2)Theoretical
3)Criterion
4)Factor Analysis
Logical Content Method
Statements related to the characteristics being assessed are logically deduced to be related to the content of the characteristics (e.g., the content scales of the MMPI-2)
Theoretical Method
method items are developed to measure constructs represented by a particular theory of personality (example: Myers-Briggs based on Jung)
Criterion Method
1. Begins with a sample with known characteristics.
2. An item pool is administered to individuals in the known sample and control group.
3. Items that distinguish the known sample from the control group are then placed on a scale in a manner to similar to the method used to construct Occupational scales on the Strong.
Examples: MMPI-2, and CPI
Factor Analysis
A statistical procedure is used to examine the intercorrelations among all of the items on the inventory. (ex. 16PF Questionnaire)
BIG FIVE
Neuroticism- insecure vs. self-confident

Extraversion- outgoing vs shy

Openness- imaginative vs concrete
