  1. A psychometrist notes that an examinee's performance on the Digit Span subtest is significantly lower than all other WAIS-IV subtests. This most likely reflects problems with:

    Answer: Working memory and attention

    Digit Span primarily measures working memory and attentional capacity; low scores relative to other subtests suggest a working memory deficit.

  2. On the Rorschach Inkblot Method (Comprehensive System), what does an elevated Lambda score indicate?

    Answer: Overly simplistic, constricted response style

    A high Lambda reflects a tendency to give only pure Form responses, suggesting cognitive constriction or a guarded, avoidant approach.

  3. Which aspect of the NEPSY-II differentiates it from most other neuropsychological batteries?

    Answer: It is a developmental neuropsychological battery designed for children ages 3–16

    The NEPSY-II is a comprehensive developmental neuropsychological battery normed for children aged 3 to 16 years across six functional domains.

  4. When the examiner presents a stimulus book and asks the examinee to identify which picture 'goes with' a target, they are most likely administering which subtest type?

    Answer: Matrix reasoning or visual analogies

    Matrix Reasoning and similar visual analogy subtests ask examinees to identify the picture that completes a pattern or relationship.

  5. The Grooved Pegboard Test is categorized as a measure of which domain?

    Answer: Psychomotor speed and fine motor dexterity

    The Grooved Pegboard requires placing notched pegs into keyed slots as quickly as possible, measuring fine motor speed and dexterity for each hand.

  6. On the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), which validity scale specifically detects an examinee who is presenting an unrealistically positive self-image?

    Answer: Positive Impression Management (PIM)

    The Positive Impression Management (PIM) scale on the PAI identifies respondents who are minimizing faults and presenting an overly favorable self-image.

  7. A standardized score of 70 on an instrument with M=100 and SD=15 corresponds to approximately which percentile?

    Answer: 2nd percentile

    A score of 70 is two standard deviations below the mean (z = –2.0), which corresponds to approximately the 2nd percentile.
