Abstract

Introduction

Social representations related to collaborative/therapeutic and information-gathering assessment could explain some psychological assessment practices. However, no other study has attempted to examine the actual place of these models in psychological assessment practices.

Objective

The goal of this study was to examine the social representations of different groups of professionals with regard to their preferred approach to psychological assessment.

Method

A latent profile analysis was conducted on a sample of licensed Canadian guidance counselors (n = 382), psychologists (n = 235), and psychoeducators (n = 97).

Results

Results revealed three psychological assessment profiles, which significantly differ in terms of a few social factors. Results also showed that some psychological assessment practices differ across profiles.

Conclusion

This study provides a better understanding of psychometric instruments users’ approaches to assessment and the influence of social factors.
