PYC4807 Assignment 3 PORTFOLIO (COMPLETE ANSWERS) 2025-DUE 25 September 2025; 100% correct solutions and explanations. SECTION 1: PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT IN REAL-LIFE CONTEXTS (20 marks) • You need to select ONE of the three contexts (developmental, educational, or organisational) in your everyday life in which psychological testing is done. • You will describe the testing done in this context by answering the questions below. Please do not just provide a theoretical discussion from the textbook - you need to share your observations, experiences, and thoughts based on actual exposure to the context, be it in person, through conversation with specialists in the context, etcetera. • NOTE that you are NOT allowed to administer tests. • The maximum length is 3 pages. Three applied contexts of testing are covered in this module, namely 1) developmental assessment and assessment of learning problems of infants, pre-school and primary school children; 2) assessment in an educational context for career counselling; 3) and assessment in organisational contexts. We want you to explore how psychological testing is done in these contexts in everyday life. Below are some ideas. Note that you must have an in-depth theoretical understanding of assessment in the context you explore before gaining exposure to this context. Your sources of information must be able to provide valid information on psychological assessment.

SECTION 1: PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT IN REAL-
LIFE CONTEXTS (20 marks)
Question 1 (3 marks)
a) Identify the context you selected. (1)
I selected the educational/career counselling context, specifically
psychological assessment for subject and career guidance in high
school.
b) Briefly describe the real-life situation you explored. (2)
A family friend’s daughter in Grade 9 recently had to select her
subjects for the Further Education and Training (FET) phase. To
assist her, the school recommended an educational psychologist who
provided career counselling. The process included completing
psychological tests to measure her interests, aptitudes, and
personality traits, which would guide her subject choices. I observed
parts of the process through discussions with her parents and by
reviewing the reports they shared with me.


Question 2 (4 marks)
