1. Imagine you are a consultant for a company that uses psychological tests to predict how successful job applicants might be on the job. The test is being challenged in the courts.  Discuss the types of evidence you would use to defend the test. In your response, consider the concepts of reliability and validity, and how they are related to one another.

2. Your readings this week cover psychological disorders impacting individuals across the lifespan.  How do you see the personality disorders as similar and different from those disorders specifically affecting elderly adults?  In considering these disorders and those most likely to be affected by them, what connections can you make? What multicultural factors do you think are relevant here?  Lastly, as we did in Week 4, use the APUS library databases to find a scholarly article that examines some aspect of one of these disorders in more detail, upload a copy of it, and discuss its findings (and your views of them) here.
