Avaliação psicológica: importância e domínio de atividades segundo docentes

The present study aimed at investigate the importance and competence perception for some psychological assessment skills with a questionnaire named "Questionário de Competência para Avaliação Psicológica – QCAP". 98 professors from various disciplines in Psychology courses took part on this study. The items considered most important were "applying ethical principles" and "knowing how to communicate test results". However, the least important ones were "having basic statistical knowledge" and "knowing a wide range of tests". Professors of psychological assessment disciplines had significantly higher means both at items reflecting the given importance and also for competence perception, when compared to professors of other disciplines not related to psychological assessment.
