The administrator must be an individual who has had proper training in administering and interpreting norm-referenced educational and psychological tests; however, it is not required the individuals has a Doctoral degree (Pearson, 2009b). Materials needed to administer, score, and interpret the test include: the stimulus book, record form, response booklet, word card, pseudoword card, audio CD, Oral Reading Fluency, CD player with speakers, stopwatch, blank scratch paper, pencils without erasers, and an optional audio recorder (Pearson, 2009a). The administration instructions are conveniently written in the Record Form, which increase the ease of administration. The instructions were thoroughly analyzed to minimize misinterpretations and misunderstandings that could lead to a lower score (Pearson,

The need for another personality test seems small. Personality tests have been in use in American since 1943 when the Meyers Briggs was first published (OPP, 2015). The field is now very diverse. With the Meyers Briggs and Smalley’s Animal Types on one end to What Star Wars Character Are You? On the other, these tests run the gambit from serious to funny, and then on down to time wasters. To really prove your usefulness, a new test must fill a niche in the market. Something only your test can provide. However the 34 vaguely worded themes give no great bit of detail to really

The ABAS II is a comprehensive measure that assesses an individual’s behavior scale. It was developed by Patti Harrison and Thomas Oakland based on information gathered in a matter of eight years. The standardization has samples for the Parent/Primary Caregiver and Teacher/Daycare Provider Forms for children ages birth to five years comprised 2,100 individuals. The standardization samples for the Parent and Teacher Forms, and Adult Form is comprised of 5,270 individuals that represent the U.S. population. (Harrison & Oakland, 2008) ABAS-II was designed to assess how a person responds to daily demands, and to determine eligibility for services. The ABAS-II has new features in its test that encompass infant-pre-school rating forms, and it has an expanded structure that focuses on the current American Association of Mental Retardation (AAMR). (Sattler, 2002)

Gallup’s (2017) StrengthsQuest assessment lists my five greatest strengths as competition, achiever, learner, input, and strategic. After reviewing the detailed descriptions of these strengths, I am confident that I can successfully apply these skills to my job as an investigator and further develop my capacity in leadership. Before taking this survey, I was certain that focus would be among my five greatest strengths, but after considering the book’s description of the achiever theme, I am convinced of the accuracy of this evaluation. Outlined below is my interpretation of these talents, their intrinsic drawbacks, and several illustrations of how they have helped me achieve success. I have also included a few examples of how I can implement

If I had a couple of words to describe Nicholas strengths, they would be hardworking, determined, curious and motivated. When he’s interested in something he has the ability to work independently for hours at a time focusing on the task at hand. For example when it comes to his three favorite things reading, playing soccer and drawing, he can spend hours at a time just focusing on that. He watches a lot of soccer games and when he’s not watching games he’s playing it, when he’s home he takes his shoes and makes them as goal post in his bedroom and starts kicking the ball. Recently he picked up drawing and designing cars, if he’s stomped or doesn’t understand how to finish a drawing that he’s working on he’ll go to the web sites where other

As I at in front of the judge with my music and clarinet my nerves began to rise. I then began to play my audition, which included scales and excerpts from songs, that determined whether I would be in the All Coachella Valley Honor Band conducted by H. Robert Reynolds at the McCallum theatre. After I finished my audition, the judge then said I had done great but I was still nervous inside. The next day the results were going to be posted online. That day I checked anxiously until the results were released, I then noticed that I had placed fifth chair playing second clarinet part. As soon as I received the music I began to practice because in the next couple of weeks we were going to be having practices, to prepare for when H. Robert Reynolds

The personality test reveals that my “primary mode of living is focused internally” (BSM Consulting, Inc., n.d.) and that I see thing via the “five senses in a literal, and concrete fashion.” (BSM Consulting, Inc., n.d.). This internal focus tends to have me be labeled as quiet or reserved but this internal world of thinking and reflection is a fertile place for ideas where I can plan and organize tasks. Being “organized and methodical,” (BSM Consulting, Inc., n.d.) ISTJ’s “can generally succeed at any task which they undertake” (BSM Consulting, Inc., n.d.) although the area that can undermine this is my lack of self-confidence. This type “can be depended upon to follow through on tasks” (BSM Consulting, Inc., n.d.) and they have an appreciation

I will determine my student’s strengths by simply getting to know them personally. I will be able to get to know my students by having conversations with them, having a student of the week, creating all about me posters, observing them throughout the day, and watching as they interact with their peers. Observing my students will allow me to see what areas they thrive in and what areas they may need a little extra help. Getting to know my students will open up my eyes to what they enjoy and usually when they enjoy doing something they are more likely to succeed.

With the long-term goal of becoming a transformational leader, it is often useful to consider one's strengths and weak nesses across four dimensions. These include personal and professional accountability, career planning, personal journey disciplines and reflect practice reference behaviors and tenets. The intent of this analysis is to evaluate my strengths and weaknesses in each of these four areas. In addition, a discussion will be completed on how current leadership skill sets will be used for advocating change in my workplace. The conclusion of the paper will concentrate on one personal goal for leadership growth, including an implementation plan leading to its fulfillment.

In the strength quest book there are special talents that describe me and each of the talents points out to how I use each of the talents in very special way in using it for a purpose. Each of the talent that is given to me and every other person is that it makes us unique in a way how we can express it with emotions and how we can behave. Also back in September when I took the Clifton Strengths Quest survey, it gave me the complete result of what the five special talents really described me for who I was and it gave positive result that I did use the five talents throughout my life time. With each of the five Strengths Quest signature themes it shows how it can guide us throughout our life time in way that gives us the abilities to use it when it comes to deal with problems and solving things.

The purpose of this test is to test the strengths and weaknesses of the students in all the four domains which are listening, speaking, reading and writing test.

Cizek (2003) in his mental measurements yearbook (MMY) review commented that the WJIII was developed according to relevant professional standards and provides excellent reliability and validity evidence. He agreed with the WJIII authors that they are justified in their claims that it provides more precise measures and wider coverage of cognitive abilities than found in other similar systems. However he highlights there is room for improvement particularly in the technical and examiners manuals, which would be improved if they included examples of Compusure outputs and interpretations and also specific examples of diagnostic indicator along with recommended interventions. He also noted that the content validity for the WJ ACH needed to be strengthened, as this was an area of weakness. Overall Cizek (2003) concluded that the WJ III is a superior psychometric instrument for those that require individual norm-referenced cognitive and
