Choose one type of personality test that you read about
and apply it to a specific population by describing a specific person who might
be your client in a clinical setting. For example, if I choose a 65-year-old
Hispanic female who has been a housewife for her adult years, I might choose the
16 PF, which is more useful as a descriptor of human behavior than the MBTI,
which might be more suitable for a 30-year-old African American who is wanting
to move up the career ladder. Be sure to discuss your client in enough detail so
classmates get a picture of the situation, why you chose that assessment, and
why the one you chose is better than others that you learned about in Chapter 9.
Be sure to include the ethical considerations of using the test you chose with
your client. Review the APA guidelines as well as the PDF document in Unit 3 on
theories of ethics to help you with this part of this thread.
