In all honesty, I consider Psychometrics Lab as the busiest subject of the semester. From the intelligence tests that looked into my brainpower to the personality assessments that defined who I really am, there’s definitely so much going on every three-hour meeting. I think one of its objectives is not just to detect the presence of relevant psychological characteristics, but also to know the extent of my perseverance – how patient and determined I can get in answering hundreds of questionnaire items, checking my partner’s works, or in interpreting the results. In spite the nerve-racking job, to me, the tests were of great help. All of it uncovered aspects of myself that not everyone, even I, can notice.
I see that the psychological report we made by the end of the semester as the nitty-gritty of the entire course, for it recapitulated all that we’ve learned about ourselves and our partners. Putting the word “Psychologist” under my name also motivated me to push through this endeavor. At times I feel low, I just think of the first Psychological Report I made and it keeps me going towards the fulfillment of my goal. The learning experience was entertaining because it showed us how real Psychologists are like. A lot of tedious work we have, sure; but these tasks made me appreciate my course even more. I realized how important we are and some people may take us for granted, but really the world needs us.
