The second psychological test that examines BDD is the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Examination (BDDE) created by Rosen & Reiter (1994). This test contains a total of thirty-four items, scored on a Likert-style scale with 0 representing "never (or no)" and 6 corresponding to "everyday (or very important)" (Rosen & Reiter, 1994). It features various domains that include how respondents think others perceive their area of distress (if any), as well as self-consciousness and avoidance due to the area of distress (Rosen & Reiter, 1994). It is not a self-questionnaire format but rather designed as an interview based interaction that is filled out by the clinician (for clinical setting) and/or institution (for certain educational purposes) during an
Q1. The study examines the relationship between biology and psychology, namely how certain hormonal changes are manifest in persons with PTSD versus depression. A modus ponens syllogism based on Christopher's (2004) discussion of the role of trauma in the development of psychological growth might go as follows: "persons with PTSD have cortisol levels higher than normal; Person X has PTSD; Person X has cortisol levels higher than normal." Note that it does not follow that all persons with cortisol levels higher than normal have PTSD. In contrast, a modus tollens syllogism uses an 'if-then' conditional phrasing such as: "If I have PTSD I am hyper-vigilant about normal stimuli in my environment; I am not hypervigilant; I do not have PTSD.
Labels distinguish individuals in everyday life; if 2000 people from across the world were randomly selected and put into categories of hair colour, none of them would share exactly the same shade of colour. Despite this continuity humans still continue to assign each other to discrete hair-colour categories such as ‘blonde’ or ‘brown’ which have no basis in biology but still go on to determine how that person is thought of in society. The American Psychology Association (APA) provides guidelines for researchers to follow in both research and writing scientifically in order to avoid any form of labelling bias when referring to participants or groups of participants. These guidelines are in place to ensure that the participants within research or experiments are protected against any psychological harm on a personal and emotional level but also from the effects of labelling within society.
As we all know, APA is known as American Psychological Association. It is used as a guide for students to learn how to properly format their paper and sources. This style of writing tells you how to include the title page, headings, page numbers, in text citations, punctuation, capitalization, italics and how the references should be formatted. According to the guidelines for APA, the font size must be 12 pt in Times New Roman, one inch margin and double spaced consistently. If it is not in double spacing, use the word processor to correct it for you. In text citations and a reference list is extremely important because you are letting the reader know where you got your information from. The three elements of an in text citation follows in

To analyze the assessments – I’m happy with all my results. They all confirm my previous beliefs of myself. The first test I took was the personality test. My results were INFP – which is interesting because I normally ENFP with a side note saying I am also closely considered to be a INFP. This is due to me having Bipolar Disorder. With Bipolar Disorder, there are two moods – Manic and Depressive. If you know about the disorder my two personality types fit perfectly with the moods. In a manic episode I thrive off of social
Psychology is the science behind the mind; the answer to every question one can have on the human mind and those inhabiting a brain.

Answers to such questions reside in the field of psychology, the solution to all our questions regarding ourselves.
During our class this week, one of our homework assignments was to complete the “Identifying Your Social Style” assessment. This was a very thought-provoking assessment to take and my results were interesting to say the least. My results were as follows, I received a 26 in assertiveness and a 37 in responsiveness which placed me in the amiable quadrant. According to the information learned, several words used to describe me are conforming, pliable, supportive, dependable, and willing. My reaction to my scores were fascinating because I did not agree with my results in the beginning. However, after I went on further to read the explanation attached to my score I had a better understanding of my marks.

The American Psychological Association (APA), “a scientific and professional organization,” facilities annual conferences to discuss current events in psychology (APA, 2015, p 1). August 2015 marked the “123rd Annual Convention [in] Toronto, Ontario California” (p. 1). At this convention, Dr. Aaron T. Beck expounded on his 15 year old theory that Cognitive Therapy (CT) was an effective treatment modality for Schizophrenia (p. 2). Consequently, Beck found that CT only showed successful outcomes for mild to moderate Schizophrenia and not severe Schizophrenia (p. 2). Eager to find an effective treatment modality, Beck modified CT to focus specifically on negative cognition which is more severe in individuals with severe Schizophrenia (p. 3).
The personality assessment inventory tests provide results on my individual personality, values, motivation, decision making, communication, team skills, conflict skills, organizational structure preference, and stress. These results are broken down briefly in three parts and do not include any personal speculation or analysis as to their meaning. The application of these results are further applied and explains how the results noted from the tests and in the first step will make me a better employee, co-worker, and manager within my organization. These tests mentioned above are applied in conjunction with particular examples on how I can achieve becoming a better employee, co-worker, and manager. An explanation of how my personality and experiences were affected by the Holy Spirit is also discussed. Particularly, how potential weaknesses have become strengths with the guidance of the Lord.

Psychological tests and or psychological assessments are an important asset in the field of psychology. These tests are designed to measure people’s characteristics which pertain to behavior. There are a variety of different types of tests that can be used to assess different types of behaviors. According to the specific behavior or behaviors being assessed, tests are categorized into two types, ability tests and personality tests. Ability tests, which encompass achievement, aptitude, and intelligence testing are used to determine capacity or potential by measuring scores based on speed, accuracy, or both. On the other hand, personality tests, which include structured or projective are used to determine behavior traits, that may be overt
