CPSY 8110 - Personality Assessment

Credit Hours 3
Prerequisite: Admission to the Counseling Psychology PsyD program.
Description: This course provides an advanced study of theories of personality and individual differences, social perception, group processes, attitudes, and the application of personality and social psychological theories across a variety of social, institutional, and cultural settings. It is designed to cover the skill sets needed to administer personality tests. This course will cover both theoretical and applied issues in personality assessment. Students will examine historical and theoretical foundations of personality assessments such as the MMPI, MCMI III NEO Pi-R, and 16PF as well as selected projective measures. Students will
learn to administer, record, score, and interpret these measures of personality with the goal of using these assessments to answer referral questions and plan treatments, thus generating a focus on report writing. A more general course in psychological assessment taken at the graduate level that covers psychometrics is a pre-requisite for this course.
