Description:

The majority of existing psychological tests measure only the dark side of human behaviours. In this course, students learn that the full range of human behaviours needs to be explored so that the scores of such tests properly reflect the psychological statuses of the individuals tested. Students apply this approach to discuss and evaluate theories and techniques related to measuring attitude, personality, vocational interest, IQ, emotional intelligence (EQ/EI), and other related psychological constructs.
