 History of Psychological Assessment

⚫More than 4000 years ago (earliest recorded

instance)
-Chinese made use of testing (oral examinations) for work
evaluations
 History of Psychological Assessment

⚫ By the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.E. to 220 C.E.), the use

of test batteries (two or more tests used in
conjunction) was quite common.
 History of Psychological Assessment

⚫ Darwin: higher forms of life evolved partially

because of differences among individual forms of life
within a species. Given that individual members of a
species differ, some possess characteristics that are
more adaptive or successful in a given environment
than are those of other members.
 History of Psychological Assessment

⚫ Francis Galton: He concentrated on demonstrating

that individual differences exist in human sensory
and motor functioning

-Established the first experimental laboratory for Psychology
in Leipzig, Germany.

⚫ Some tests arose in response to important needs such as
classifying and identifying the mentally and emotionally
handicapped. One of the earliest tests resembling current
procedures, the Seguin Form Board Test (Seguin,

evaluate the mentally disabled.

items become easy, while consecutive corrects answers
are followed by items with more difficulty. This is:
