What to expect in this test?

We believe that while it is important to have a high Intelligence Quotient, (I.Q.), what is more important is to have a high Emotional Quotient (EQ) to scale the pinnacle of success. We should know, considering we have over 25 years of experience in the education field. This wisdom has come from modern psychology and we are much the wiser for it. Well, the questions in the Psychology Test are drawn from courses of study most commonly offered at the undergraduate level within the broadly defined field of psychology. Nevertheless, most editions of this test require you to answer about 205 multiple-choice questions. Translated in simple terms, this would mean each question in the test has five options from which you, the examinee, are required to select the one option that is the correct or best answer to the question. Some of the stimulus materials, such as a description of an experiment or a graph, may serve as the basis for several questions. The questions may require recalling factual information, analyzing relationships, applying principles, drawing conclusions from data, evaluating a research design, and/or identifying a psychologist who has made a theoretical or research contribution to the field.
