Mental evaluation

Has anyone had a mental evaluation?
What the parameters are?
What is the result?
How a mental evaluation is interpreted?

No, it is not for me.
One of my children has being required to present a mental evaluation, along with other requirements.

Thanks in advance!

lifeisadream: And it is not for seeking therapy it is for a special “job”.

Then it will likely be specific to that job.

There are any number of psychiatric and psychological evaluations, from assessing for dyslexia to sociopathy.

I don't suppose that helps much, eh?

Is it the Myers Briggs Evaluation by any chance?

Many work places have a prospective employee take this test to determine what type of personality he/she may have.

And depending upon the type of assessment questions they could be answered and interpreted either subjectively, objectively, or a mixture of the two.

I don't think Myers Briggs is used much, if at on this side of the pond. I think that sort of thing might be quite culture specific.

Major industries use advanced tests to maximized profits. Not so with government jobs.
They diverse the workforce to add confusion. I believe all of the government workers are unionized in Canada.
Hense the confusion.

My children are fine –I think- just a bit tipped because of their Fathers’s genes giggle (that is in jest before MD shoots me.

My child’s mental evaluation will be this week, then I will get to know some.

lifeisadream: Good point Rumples:
Are those mental evaluations useful?
Or are they pointless and useless?

It is a requirement in my child’s case and there is not way to know how it will be used/analyzed.

About your girlfriend's aunty quite afamed psychiatrist.
Perhaps, those children are not hers. What if someone changed them at the hospital!



Good parents, bad children. Bad parents, good children: could make a good topic to discuss.

The usefulness of an evaluation would depend upon the tool and how it's used. To ask if evaluations in general are useful, would be useless. laugh

Criminals are good at profiling their victims Reb.
I do not see a mental evaluation (ME) as a waste of money yet I would like to know how a ME is used to take a decision on hiring-selecting people for a specific activity. The problem is that my closest friends’ expertise is into other activities different of Psychology or psychiatry.

dunno
Is that dangerous Stedan?

jac379: The usefulness of an evaluation would depend upon the tool and how it's used. To ask if evaluations in general are useful, would be useless.

The question Jac is how much “weigh” a mental evaluation is considered in the whole equation. Is it 0.7 or 0.05 ? out of 1.

Accepted = Degrees + work experience + languages + ME + hobbies + age + etc... (gender is not important)

Does a ME give the mark to know if a student-worker is capable of adapting to new cultures (they are required to work in one or more companies abroad as training) as to adapt to daily life and being able to develop the process and programs that they need to.

Using the ME tool(s) adequately, what is the range of “usefulness” in comparison to real life results?

dunno

Some of the companies here use Psychometric testing as part of an employment application, Psychometric testing is designed to find job-relevant information about you which an interview wouldn't be able to do. Psychometric testing typically includes a combination of aptitude and personality tests online which measure your job-relevant cognitive abilities and personality.
