- Most participants worked in the National Capital Region (NCR), followed by Luzon and Visayas.
Training and Supervision
- While many respondents have taken courses in personality tests, psychological measurement, projective techniques, intelligence testing, and test construction, fewer have specific training in tests like the Rorschach and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
- Supervision for practitioners often involved exchanging experiences among colleagues, particularly in settings with multiple practitioners.
Best Practices and Facilitating Factors

- Practitioners emphasized the importance of ethical practice, adherence to standard procedures, collaborative work, and technology utilization in assessment.
- Ethical practice was seen as essential, with respondents citing reliance on test manuals and their personal qualities, such as time management, discipline, and patience, as contributing factors.
- Complete and reliable materials were identified as crucial for ethical practice.
Training's Importance

Addressing Gaps and Future Directions

Psychological Tools and Local Adaptation
