4-2 Final Project Milestone Two: Draft of Observation and Benefits and Limitations Kimberlyn Boddie PSY 335- Assessment and Testing February 4, 2024 Observation Barbara openly and honestly shared her past and present experiences, expressing her concerns and challenges in a public forum. She was concerned about providing accurate answers on the projective assessment, so she made sure to be honest and repeated her responses clearly and straightforwardly. Barbara was fully aware of the observation and made a deliberate choice to proceed with the assessment. Barbara mentioned that she had to rush to make the appointment due to oversleeping. As a result, she had to skip breakfast. Response to Testing Barbara appeared reluctant to respond to inquiries during the evaluation. She struggled with adapting to social situations, as her response was not satisfactory. Examining the cards once more jogged her memory, particularly when it came to differentiating between visually pleasing features such as shading and colors. Barbara may be facing challenges with her perceptual sequence, as three of her responses were unusual. Also, Barbara’s day started rough, and it is possible she was feeling emotionally impacted during the assessment due to her concerns about answering the questions correctly. Emotions are evaluations of situations that compel individuals to prioritize their own survival and well-being. Emotional resonance is what truly compels us to respond to a message, no matter how much rational thought we put into it. (Ellis, 2019) Considering emotions as guiding principles is essential for making meaningful choices, as

consumer behavior is deeply intertwined with our emotional state. Prioritizing her appointment before breakfast, Barbara demonstrates her ardent desire to assist others. However, she appeared unconcerned about her self-image as she openly and honestly discussed her issues on the self- referral and admissions forms. Benefit and Limitations One of the tests utilized was the Projective personality test. Clarifying the sequence, structure, or visual aids is an integral aspect of this type of personality assessment. (Cherry, 2020) These tests are designed to reveal any underlying issues or emotions that Barbara may be carrying. The ultimate objective is to address these concerns through therapy or other appropriate treatments. Another evaluation tool commonly utilized is the Rorschach Inkblot Test. Individuals from the age of five to adulthood undergo evaluations conducted by a trained psychologist. Administrators closely monitor the participants to ensure their answers are not influenced. The person is requested to share their observations of ten inkblots that are evenly distributed. ( What is the Rorschach Test (n.d.) Approach The advantages and disadvantages of projective personality tests are also explored. Unforeseen consequences often arise, leaving unsolicited results. Verbal communication is the main form of expression. As a mental health counselor, the therapist carefully observes the patient's body language, responses, and overall behavior to gather valuable non-verbal cues. Finally, they differentiate between obstacles that serve as sources of motivation. Due to this, I can help Barbara uncover opinions and perspectives that she may struggle to acknowledge on her own. With the various scoring methods and the constant need for dependability and validity,

these tests are often subject to criticism. The Rorschach Inkblot Test is a valuable tool for assessing and recognizing psychotic symptoms. The Rorschach assesses various aspects of an individual's personality, including both stable traits and ever-changing patterns. One way to assess an individual's ability to cope with common stressors such as bullying, family loss, and the need for relaxation is through the administration of the Rorschach test. The Rorschach test can provide insights into how individuals respond when they experience overwhelming emotions, whether by suppressing their feelings or acting impulsively. Considering its limitations, the Rorschach Inkblot Test may not be suitable for everyone. Additional research is necessary to assess the effectiveness of the Rorschach test for individuals facing challenges with visual-spatial processing or emotional dialect communication (Hauser, 2020). This ranking method was comprehensive, considering factors such as content, breadth, and analytics. Despite considering these factors, there are still criticisms about the analyst's subjective approach to writing the test description. Ethical Code Based on the evaluations, Barbara is a capable individual who is experiencing symptoms of depression. This could be used as a benchmark for assessing depression. Barbara is causing significant concern due to her decreasing interest, despite the findings of the Analytical Evaluation of Depression indicating a moderate clinical risk. The clear determination and fervent desire to establish a bond with the recently obtained property are indications of this. This test undergoes a comprehensive regulatory assessment, which establishes its legitimacy and makes it useful. Considering the perspective of self-reporting there are certain limitations to consider when interpreting these evaluation results. The design of this test lacks ethical considerations.
