Buros Mental Measurements Yearbook Assignment
For this assignment you will compare and contrast the quality of two assessments that assess similar constructs, so that you could adequately discuss if or how you would use them in your counseling practice. You will begin by visiting the following website http://buros.unl.edu/buros/jsp/search.jsp which will allow you to search titles of a multitude of assessments that have been professionally reviewed. Once you find the title of two assessments you would like to evaluate, note the volume of the Buros Mental Measurements Yearbook that contains the assessment. You will then visit the library and locate volume of the Buros Mental Measurements Yearbook that contains your chosen assessment. This book will give you extensive reviews of a comprehensive variety of assessments. Write a brief report (1-2 pages single spaced per assessment) detailing the assessment, such as reliability and validity measures, the norming sample/process, multicultural considerations, ease of administration, suggestions for use of the assessment, cost, etc. Then, explain how you would use each assessment in practice and your rationale for this decision. (Note: you may decide that the assessment in not useful in practice.) You must also locate journal articles about the assessments in order to gather more information to be included in your discussion of the assessment. An sample exemplar can be found on D2L under Exemplar_Buros.
**** Note: It is possible that you will not find the perfect assessment for your project in the Buros MMY. If this happens, choose an assessment that is close in order to complete this assignment, then search elsewhere for the assessment you will use for your project. Keep in mind that when using an assessment that is not reviewed by Buros, you must be able to locate some information about the validity and reliability of the assessment
