Learning Objective(s):
1. Be able to articulate in writing psychological test findings, including those from cognitive, (Wechsler scales), objective personality (e.g. MMPI-2, MCMI-III, PAI) and projective (Rorschach, TAT) tests in a manner consistent with beginning internship level.
2. Be able to integrate clinical and test findings in a psychological testing report in a clear and professional manner, one that goes beyond specific findings to a rich and well-supported description of the individual being assessed.
3. Understand the readers to whom a given psychological report is to be directed and write in a manner commensurate with one’s anticipated readers.
4. Be aware of the limitations inherent in any clinical assessment and cognizant of the need for further work-up, research, interviews and referrals when these are needed.
