Professional ethics in testing

Hazard is any factor or situation that has an adverse effect on man's health while risk is the probability of an unfavorable event occurring on someone. So does this imply that hazard is a dormant risk? What then is the threshold (ceiling) for hazard to be converted into risk?

The assessment I'm working on is the MSPSS.

Do you have any thoughts about using a scale as one part of a larger application portfolio? Are there any legal issues? Professional issues?

I work with researchers to help them increase and monitor their social impact - I do this through one to one sessions and work with groups, plus some training sessions. It works well here but would be difficult in a larger institution, and I am interested in whether there are people out there using more structured processes to cope with large numbers of researchers?

Hi to all. I was recently asked by a psychiatrist to administer a test of intelligence to investigate if a chronic psychiatric patient has deteriorated in terms of his cognitive skills. I know that the French WAIS III has a related formula, but what about WAIS IV? Does it measure deterioration?

Could you help?

Hello,

I'm looking for information about these techniques, but I'm not sure about the differences. The more I read, the more doubts arise.

Can someone shed some light on this matter?

Thanks!

What type of testing methods have you devised in order to assess your students' progress in foreign languages in general or in ESP in particular? In my opinion, it's not only about their newly acquired vocabulary knowledge, but also about pronunciation and language use. I am also particularly interested in finding out about methods of INDIVIDUAL assessment of students in the context of video conference teaching, while students have the possibility to get help from their peers via phone apps, for example.
