Standardized measures are used across all areas of psychological research, and provide a critical lens through which we can observe human nature—from diagnostic to characterological, neurocognitive to unconscious, intellectual, social and cultural. This second course in the testing sequence exposes doctoral-level clinical psychology students to methods by which psychologists strive to conceptualize human behavior and individual differences in terms such as skills, aptitudes, attitudes, values, personality, and intelligence.
