ABSTRACT

The purpose of this chapter is to identify and discuss important factors that should be carefully considered when one sets out to determine which among the many available psychological test options is optimal for one or more clinical purposes within a pediatric primary care setting. The chapter is also intended to similarly identify and discuss factors that should be considered in the selection of psychological testing technologies. Considerations for the selection of psychological measures are addressed first, followed by a discussion of some of the more common technologies that are available for the administration, scoring, and/or reporting of those measures.
