Please follow the directions EXACTLY. I am getting bad grades on the papers you guys are doing.
These are attached:
a. SII
b. MBTI
c. Values Assessment
d. Skills Assessment
2) Write Report
a. Identifying Information & Presenting Concern – very brief 3-5 sentences.
b. Relevant Background Information – 1-2 pages – covers basic familial, social, educational, and work history background. MY BACK GROUND: MARRIED MOTHER OF 2 ( GIRL 22 and BOY 19), LOWER MIDDLE CLASS, BS – IN PSYCHOLOGY, IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING MY MASTERS, BEEN IN THE LEGAL FIELD FOR 30 YEARS
USE THE SAME PAPER ATTACHED TO PREPARE THIS SECTION
c. Assessment Results & Interpretation – include the results (what do the tests say) and well as what this means for the client. Be sure to integrate how this is consistent with what you know about the client (you) from other information you have. (about 5-7 pages)
i. 1)Career Interests – SII & other – the SII cover several key areas (focus on the theme, basic interests, and personal style – use specific career stuff as examples/to support these ideas).
ii. 2)Skills – inventory & other
iii. 3)Personality – MBTI (focus on code as well as strength on each scale)
iv 4)Values – Inventory, Ideal job, other
Recommendations – ½ – 1 page – what now?
**No references or APA style needed for this. Write this as if you were preparing a report for a client. Given me what you would give the client.
Your final paper is very different in that it is an assessment report rather than an academic paper. You won’t have any references and there is no need to cite your assessment results as you own this as well…just use subheadings to define the results and refer to them by their name (i.e., according to the SII….). Your paper will have a background information section, which you will have to create. You may use your own personal self or you can create a “fake client” and just use your results as theirs. Then you will have a results section in which you will describe your results from the SII (interests), MBTI (personality), Skills, and Values inventories and interpret them in light of your background information and the integration for the test results. Finally, you will have a summary and some recommendations before a signature block on the report.
I have included a sample format for an assessment report but this is just one idea (you can create your own with similar information). This is a learning disability assessment that I did (and I use it when I teach assessment courses). It is pretty inclusive and thorough, so don’t get distracted by that (this was based on 10-15 hours of testing), but it will give you an idea of style of writing and formatting. Obviously, you will not have an integration section as you are only assessing career needs. Your summary will serve as the integration. Also…you won’t have a diagnosis as this is a career assessment.
