WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Are you familiar with adolescent psychology? Test

Do You Know Adolescent Psychology? Test - Symptoms and Signs

pedagogy

This brief knowledge-based measure is designed to sample understanding of common developmental and psychosocial features of adolescence. Do You Know Adolescent Psychology? is intended for adults who work with teens and young adults and want a quick check of their familiarity with typical adolescent processes and concerns. It contains 24 items and takes about 5 minutes to complete.

Items are structured to elicit responses reflecting knowledge and assumptions about adolescent behavior, adjustment, and communication. Results may be used to identify areas of relative strength and potential gaps to guide training, supervision discussions, or targeted continuing education. Do You Know Adolescent Psychology? is attributed to Laurence Steinberg and is best interpreted as an informational screening of knowledge rather than a diagnostic assessment of an individual adolescent.
