This course aims to equip students with the necessary skills to administer, score, interpret, and ethically report psychological tests. The course focuses on both theoretical foundations and hands-on applications of widely used clinical and developmental assessments such as Beck Inventories, AGTE, Benton, and Frostig.

The course covers test types (cognitive, personality, projective, developmental), psychometric properties, administration and scoring principles, interpretation, and report writing. Ethical principles, confidentiality, cultural sensitivity, and professional responsibility are emphasized throughout.
