Please do not bid unless you have the text Essentials of Testing & Assessment 2nd edition Edward S. Neukrug/ R. Charles Fawcett
Assessments used today have evolved through centuries of development ranging from defining testing to the use of both formal and informal assessments. The pioneers of assessment had to rely on trial and error and their own observations to assist in determining the problems their patients were experiencing. As they found commonalities of certain traits and disorders, they were able to create the initial, standardized assessment instruments. A test can be as simple as challenging another individual to a contest but can be as complex as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-II (MMPI-II) which identifies personality structure and psychopathology. The instruments used today give us a structured approach to assessing different behaviors, traits, competencies, and abnormalities that in turn support the diagnostic process.
