  • Descrição: Testing in counselling refers to the administration of psychological tests. A counselling test is "an objective and standardized measure of a sample of behaviour". The term sample of behaviour refers to an individual's performance on tasks that have usually been prescribed beforehand. The samples of behaviour that make up a paper-and-pencil test, the most common type of test, are a series of items. Performance on these items produce a test score. A score on a well-constructed test is believed to reflect a psychological construct such as achievement in a school subject, cognitive ability, aptitude, emotional functioning, personality, etc. Differences in test scores are thought to reflect individual differences in the construct the test is supposed to measure. The technical term for the science behind psychological testing is psychometrics. Counselling psychology is one part art and one part science. Some people are good at the art, which is therapy and working with people in an active and therapeutic way. Some people are good at science, which is research, testing, and breaking things down and examining their components. Few people truly excel at both, despite needing both to be an effective counsellor. The science of counselling has two main components: research and testing. We are going to focus on testing, which is defined as collecting information to analyze and evaluate a client to identify problems, plan for treatment, and aid in diagnosing. Testing is a specialized form of counselling that involves examining a person's responses and quantifying or describing their meaning. How different tests do this will be explored briefly later. I may use the term assessment, because testing and assessment are fairly interchangeable in counselling. Testing can be done prior to, during, or following counselling. Testing a client prior to the start of counselling gives you an idea of who the person is walking through the doors. Testing during counselling can help identify additional areas in which to focus or could provide additional information that the counsellor needs. Lastly, following counselling, a client may undergo testing to see if any changes have been made.
