This chapter concerns key issues in teaching and learning personality assessment, including a discussion of: (1) the difference between “testing” and “assessment”, (2) reasons for teaching and learning assessment, (3) methods of helping students to develop critical thinking skills in the interpretation and integration of data, (4) material on teaching students how to select appropriate assessment batteries, and (5) methods to help students overcome their natural resistance to the application of their assessment knowledge, lest they make errors and injure the patient/client. The chapter focuses on the experience of the student as he or she learns the material and on methods to make assessment more meaningful to the student and the patient/client. It also deals with ethical and political issues in teaching assessment, the influence of cultural diversity on assessment data, and assessment on internship. Several controversies are discussed, such as the preference for self‐report measures or projective measures and whether the academic programs or internship faculty should be primarily responsible for teaching assessment. The chapter concludes with a discussion of new and innovative issues in teaching personality assessment, use of computers and the Internet, therapeutic assessment, assessment of healthy aspects of personality, development of focused personality measures, and an expanded concept of intelligence to include personality variables.
