Abstract:
This chapter describes and critiques instruments that are appropriate for psychometric assessment of adolescents. Content areas include cognitive assessment (intelligence, neuropsychological, and educational tests), personality assessment (projective tests and structured interviews), and behaviorally based measures (direct observation, rating scales, and checklists). Guidelines are provided for evaluating both the utility of a psychometric measure and the adequacy of a psychoeducational report.
