Psychology AssessmentThe WAIS – IV, the most current version of IQ testing and which replaced the WAIS-III in 2008, is the most current intelligence test and there are four index scores, two verbal and two performance, representing major components of intelligence. The WAIS III full scale IQ testing was composed of a Verbal IQ component and a Performance IQ component. Within the Verbal testing component there are two subsets index; Verbal Comprehension Index and Working Memory Index. The Performance IQ component is composed of Perceptual Reasoning Index and Processing Speed Index.Verbal Comprehension Index measures general verbal skills, such as fluency, ability to understand and use verbal reasoning, and verbal knowledge. It is based on both formal and informal educational opportunities, Working Memory Index assesses ability to memorize new information, hold it in short-term memory, concentrate, and manipulate that information to produce some result or reasoning processes.  “The WMI subtests were designed primarily to assess the constructs involved in the initial registration and holding of information (sometimes referred to as short-term memory) and the mental manipulation of information that is being held in mind, often referred to as working memory” (Lichtenberg & Kaufman, 2012, p. 235).
Perceptual Reasoning Index measures one’s ability to use information gained through the senses, particularly visual and the ability to make sense of that information quickly, using them to make judgments about the world or act accordingly. People with high Perceptual Reasoning seem to make good engineers, actors, designers, analysis and programmers.Processing Speed Index assesses skills focusing attention and quickly scanning, discriminating between, and sequentially ordering visual information. “It requires persistence and planning ability, but is sensitive to motivation, difficulty working under a time pressure, and motor coordination too” (Lichtenberg & Kaufman, 2012, p. 251). It is related to reading, mathematical, and memory skills as well.
The Perception of Information Scale (PDI) is a non-invasive measure of attention, performance and self-efficacy assessed by a highly trained computer algorithm. Users of a software program can use multiple cognitive and conceptual tests to assess cognitive and behavioral factors that influence their use of the computer. The PDI, named after French mathematician John Schulze, was developed in 1988 by an undergraduate project at McGill University following its success in developing a scale for the development of computer program development. The standard PDI is a test designed for the evaluation of knowledge, learning, performance and learning ability and is used by employers and other employees to help determine how to assess and test their business.It is used by many of the best management, IT, information technology, training and education organizations worldwide. In its formative years, it has been used by both government agencies and the private sector in different settings.It is a self-assessment and measurement of human capital.
The Psychology of Information Scale
Psychologists have used the Psychology of Information Scale, one of the most popular mental methods, since 1985, to measure emotional intelligence, intelligence and emotion from four groups. In this study we use an eight-year-old test which assessed five of the four groups and examines a high-school student from Canada to answer questions about their mental ability to read and respond more quickly than other members of the population. Each of the five tests is written off when the user chooses as either “high-school” or “low “. The measure of mental capacity varies from individual to individual and has no correlation with executive functioning in the general population. There is a tendency for the psychological measures to be less positive for the individual and more negative for the group. In particular, the Psychometric Personality Questionnaire, which is a self-report questionnaire, has been found to show positive results for the former group, while negative results for the latter. The psychologists also examine a range of other mental conditions in their study to examine the effectiveness of the Psychometric Personality Scale in their treatment of cognitive and behavioral disorders.
The Psychological Data Criterion (PDI) is a tool to determine that people in a particular population, class, gender and social class are more or less proficient with the following cognitive and/or behavioral skills or abilities:
Reading
Expert Judgment
Conceptual Reasoning
Memory
Intelligence
Communication
Memory for information
Ability to use information quickly and efficiently
Visual Intelligence
Ability to analyze numerical information on a scale
Ability to perceive and read (and learn to read) information from a visual screen
Ability to project information accurately and accurately
Mental Capacity
Ability to work with and evaluate people and concepts in complex situations
Ability to perform complex tasks
Ability to relate thoughts and actions to mental states
Intelligence
Ability to control and interpret emotions
Ability to recognize and change thoughts and actions
Ability to
