Document Summary

Psychological test is a standardized measure of a sample of a person"s behavior. They measure individual differences that exist among people in abilities, interests and aspects of personality. Test scores are interpreted by consulting test norms to find out what represents a high and low score. Standardization refers to the uniform procedures used in the administration and scoring of a test. What makes a test standardized is when all subjects get the same instructions, questions, and same time limit, so their scores can be compared meaningfully. Test norms provide information about where a score on a psychological test ranks in relation to other scores on that test. Test norms show whether you scored average, or above and below the average test score. It helps you overall understand what your test score means. Percentile scores indicate the percentage of people who score at or below the score one has obtained.

To date, there is no universally effective, long-term psychological treatment for antisocial personality disorder (or psychopathy specifically). In many cases, particularly when a psychopath or an individual with APD commits a violent crime, confinement is the only form of long-term management. What ethical concerns with this come to mind, if any? Should society explore other methods to treat/manage psychopathy, or is confinement a reasonable approach in violent circumstances?
