ABSTRACT
In the preceding chapters, you have received extensive information on diversity-related topics, including assessment of diverse populations and best practices in diversity-sensitive personality assessment. There are, indeed, a number of ways that humans can differ from one another and the intersectionality of these identities can be head-dizzying. Do we need measures that are specifically designed, validated, and normed for every possible permutation and combination of diversity factors (e.g., socioeconomically disadvantaged and medically ill European-American women)? Given the overwhelming number of considerations presented in this text, we might begin to wonder what to do when it comes time to work with a particular client. How can we possibly begin to construct an appropriate test battery? Should we abandon the process of assessment completely?
