Back 11

Does the test measure what it says it measures?

obtained scores differing true scores (error)

Front 12

MMPI scoring & validity scales

Back 12

T-scores considered signif below 40 & above 65.


L=Lie scale (high=faking good; Low=frank and relaxed)

F=infrequently endorse items (high =uncoventional thinking/dissatisfaction

K=openness (high=guarded)

Front 14

Who is the WAIS appropriate for?

What three scores does it calculate?

What are the four factor indices that it caluculates?

What is the mean and SD?
What is the mean and SD of subtests?

Back 14

Intelligence Scale
- 16 to 89 years of age
- VIQ (verbal-crystallized), PIQ (Performance-fluid), and FSIQ (full scale - overall iq)
- Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Org, Working Memory, Processing Speed

- Mean is 100 and SD is 15
- Subtests mean is 10 and SD is 3

note: edu, culture & SES affect VIQ. D&A & schizo affect PIQ

Front 15

MCMI-III

Back 15

self-report measure of personality- scales parallel DSM

Use only on people w/ disturbances in the mid-range

Front 16

Who is the WISC-IV appropriate for and name the scale and indexes?

Back 16

-6-0 to 16-11
-FSIQ (full scale iq)
-VCI (Verbal comprehension index- crystallized - similarities,vocab & comprehension)
-PRI (Perceptual Reasoning - fluid - block dsign, picture concepts, matrix reasoning)
-WMI (Working Memory - digit span, letter-number sequencing)
-PSI - Processing Speed - coding symbol search

Front 17

What sociocultural and psychological factors can affect VIQ and PIQ?

Back 17

People who are higher SES and highly educated have higher VIQ than PIQ

People who are lower SES show the reverse pattern

Verbal subtests are culturally loaded and affect ESL individuals

Performance subtests are not good for people with poor motor functioning
