Today's NewWork News Web Tip: Locus of Control and Attributional Style (Thursday, 7/2/98)
Here's a little on-line career assessment. Should you take it seriously? Er, well, not too much. It can be useful to get your thinking started, though. However, keep in mind that psychological assessment is a highly technical professional activity. Best to consult a licensed professional for assessment service so that you can be confident the best instruments are being used and used properly, and also so that you can get help in properly interpreting the results. Psychometricians don't even aspire to the level of measurement precision routinely taken for granted in the natural sciences, including much of medicine. Best not to think of standardized psychological tests as providing the "last word," as one might in relation to an X-ray or blood test. Instead, think of these test results as a starting point for your thinking, and, if they just seem all wrong for you, you're not obligated to believe them.
