Overview
Appraisal, Assessment, and Evaluation for Counselors: A Practical Guide by Gill, Emelianchik-Key, and Torres is a core text in counselor-education programs, covering how counselors select, administer, and interpret tests and assessments ethically and effectively. This study guide is built to follow the textbook chapter by chapter, from an introduction to assessment and the history and ethics of appraisal through culture and diversity considerations, methods of assessment, and assessment and diagnosis in counseling. It also reviews test selection, scoring, and statistics, reliability, validity, and test worthiness, and the major assessment domains, including intelligence, aptitude, achievement, career and interest inventories, clinical and personality testing, and trauma and substance use assessment. The aim is to help you review high-yield concepts the way they are tested on course exams and assessed on counselor licensure and certification exams, without rereading the whole book.
