Respond to the topics for this writing assignment using your own words and examples.

Also, be sure to provide a title for each of your essays.

This assignment requires you to write 1-2 page essays in response to the following three questions:

1. In your own words, briefly differentiate test validity and test reliability. Then describe and explain the concepts of content validity and criterion validity, making sure to address both concurrent and predictive validity.

2. Briefly describe the importance of the assessment interview. Then identify and describe several tactics employed by clinicians in assessment interviews, including preliminary considerations, directive vs. nondirective interviews, sequencing, comprehensiveness, the avoidance of "why" questions, and the importance of attending to the client's nonverbal behavior.

3. Provide an overview of the pros and cons of the Wechsler Intelligence Scales, with an emphasis on the most recent versions (WAIS-IV for adults and WISC-for children). Be sure to explain what these scales can measure as opposed to what they can't measure.
