1.1. Report template for diagnosis and treatment

1.2. Report template for guidance

1.3. Report template for selection

1.4. Report template for basic research

1.1. Report template for diagnosis and treatment:

It would include the following sections:

1) Personal data of the subject and the evaluator. This includes the name, sex, age, marital
status, education and profession of the evaluated person; name and accreditation of the
evaluator and dates of exploration.

2) Reference and objectives. The reason for the evaluation and consultation is stated, as well
as the objectives, raised both by the sender of the case and by the subject himself and/or his
family members.

3) Relevant biographical data. This section should include data of interest about past
environmental conditions, the immediate context, the client's evolution and development, and
relevant sociodemographic aspects.

4) Techniques and procedure . The list of techniques, tests or instruments used as information
collection devices will be made here (in strict terms it is where the quantitative results
obtained in each of the tests individually are presented). If standardized tests have been used,
the typing sample used to obtain the standard scores must also appear, as well as the date of
publication. If the report is addressed to another psychologist, the raw data obtained through
the information collection instruments will also be included. Regarding the procedure,
everything that allows the contrast of the evaluation by another psychologist will appear, as
well as the appreciation of the scientific guarantees of the data.

5) Conduct during the exploration . This section will include the relevant observation data on
the subject's manifest behavior during the examination. In this way, it will contain
observations on external motor behaviors and verbal behaviors worthy of mention, as well as
on the attitudes that the evaluator infers about this type of behavior (for example:
collaboration, persistence, intolerance, etc.).

6) Integration of results. It is where the results obtained in the different tests are presented,
expressly mentioning the data used to make the statements, as well as their interpretation.
The results will be presented through the following subsections:

a) BEHAVIORS OBJECT OF STUDY. It refers to the specification and operationalization of those

behaviors for which consultation is performed in its three modalities: motor, physiological and
cognitive-verbal.

b) PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS OR BASIC REPERTOIRE OF BEHAVIOR. The results referring

to stable behaviors or characteristics from the cognitive-verbal, emotional-motivational and
sensorimotor systems (cognitive, emotional and psychomotor functions) are presented.
Regarding intellectual functions, the report may include, when relevant, data on intellectual
level, aptitudes, memory, learning potential, etc. Emotional-motivational functions will include
PSYCHOLOGICAL REPORT

everything related to aspects such as attitudes, expectations, etc. Finally, sensorimotor

functions will reveal aspects such as visual-motor coordination, spatial organization, lateral
predominance, etc. Since the results are based on specific data, these must appear as support
and endorsement of any assertion about the case.

c) SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. Here only the environmental conditions that the

subject currently presents should be analyzed (for example: differential behaviors, relevant
contexts, problematic situations of a physical and/or social nature, etc.). d) BIOLOGICAL
CONDITIONS. The results from the neuropsychological and psychobiological examinations, if
any, are integrated into this section. A summary of physical examinations performed by other
professionals may also be included if they are relevant to the case.

7) Orientation or/and objectives of change. This section will respond to the objectives set out
in section 2, as well as all types of guidelines that the psychologist believes will have a positive
impact on the case. If the orientation is aimed at carrying out a certain intervention, the
behaviors from which the treatment results will be evaluated, the variables that will be
manipulated and the treatment techniques that will be used must be selected and quantified.
When the recommendations are several and of a different order, they must not only be listed
but also ranked, in order to follow an order in the orientation and intervention. If the objective
is diagnosis, the report would end here, if the objective is treatment, the next section will be
completed.

8) Assessment of interventions. In those processes in which a treatment has been applied, two
other types of results will also be included. On the one hand, those coming from the analysis of
the changes experienced in the variables that were wanted to be modified (that is, if the
proposed goals have been achieved). On the other hand, what the subject, the therapist
and/or people close to him think about the effects of the treatment carried out. The evaluation
of the treatment is generally carried out at different times after it has been applied; Therefore,
this section will also include the follow-up carried out on the case.

1.2. Report template for guidance

As can be seen, it is based on the previous form of organization with which they are very
similar. It would consist of the following sections:

1) Personal data of the subject and the evaluator. This includes the name, sex, age and
education of the person being evaluated; name and accreditation of the evaluator and dates of
exploration.

2) Objectives . The objectives of the evaluation are stated, raised both by the sender of the
case and by the subject himself, his family or the educational center.

3) Personal and academic history . This section must include data of interest regarding the
subject's remote and recent academic performance, the subject's study habits, as well as those
family, academic, social and personal aspects that are relevant to current and future
performance. Said data will be obtained with general techniques.

4) Techniques and procedure . The list of techniques, tests or instruments used as information
collection devices will be made here (in strict terms it is where the quantitative results
obtained in each of the tests individually are presented). If standardized tests have been used,
the typing sample used to obtain the standard scores must also appear, as well as the date of
publication. If the report is addressed to another psychologist, the raw data obtained through
PSYCHOLOGICAL REPORT

the information collection instruments will also be included. Regarding the procedure,
everything that allows the contrast of the evaluation by another psychologist will appear, as
well as the appreciation of the scientific guarantees of the data.

5) Interpretation of the results . Here the results obtained in the different tests are presented,
expressly mentioning the raw data used to make the statements, as well as their
interpretation. The results and their interpretation can be presented through the following
subsections:

a) SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. Here only the conditions of the subject should be

analyzed.

b) BIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS. The results from neuropsychological and psychobiological

examinations are integrated into this section, if these can influence the future performance of
the subject. A summary of examinations performed by other professionals may also be
included if they are relevant to the case.

c) VOCATIONAL INTERESTS. The results are presented referring to those educational and/or
professional areas that are of particular interest to the subject.

d) PERSONALITY AND COGNITION CHARACTERISTICS. The results of areas such as: self-esteem,
self-control, personality traits, expectations and motivation for the study are presented.

e) INTELLECTUAL APTITUDES, SKILLS AND ABILITIES. The results of areas such as: traditional
intelligence, general and specific aptitudes, emotional intelligence, etc. are presented.

6) Conclusions. In this section, a specific proposal for guidance will be made, as well as any
type of advice that the psychologist believes will have a positive impact on the case. 7)
Assessment of the process . In the event that it is possible to carry it out, after a certain time
interval, the results of several aspects will be detailed: - If the subject followed the guiding
advice that was proposed and if not, the reasons for such decision - Degree of satisfaction with
the activity being carried out by the subject who followed the psychologist's recommendations
(subjective criterion) - Effectiveness of the subject in the performance of the activity being
carried out (objective criterion)

1.3. Report template for selection

1) Preselection. Its objective is to distinguish between candidates who have a real chance of
being hired by the company and those who in no way would be. Firstly, it includes a definition
of the job to be filled and a profile of the appropriate candidate, their abilities and skills, and
their personal and motivational characteristics necessary for effective performance in said
position. The instruments for collecting information (curriculum, pre-selection interview and
application form) that have been used in this first phase and the information they intend to
collect will also be recorded (referring, for example, to areas such as: biography, academic and
professional history). , use of the applicant's free time or social activities and the applicant's
motivations or reasons for submitting the application). Finally, the candidates who have passed
this phase will be listed, explaining the reasons for the exclusions.

2) Evaluation. This section presents the list of evaluation tests, which will have been selected
based on the job analysis, to measure the capabilities, skills and abilities of the different
candidates. Typically, these tests evaluate:
PSYCHOLOGICAL REPORT

a) PERSONALITY AND GENERAL INTELLECTUAL CAPABILITIES. They focus on the measurement

of cognitive, attitudinal and social aspects of the candidates, such as: personality traits,
motivation, satisfaction, emotional and traditional intelligence, reasoning ability and
creativity...

b) SKILLS. They are based on the evaluation of the candidates' knowledge in certain areas
related to the job. They include general and specific aptitude tests and tests associated with
tasks relevant to the effective performance of the job (for example: general culture, calculation
speed or theoretical knowledge of a given topic, professional knowledge or technical
knowledge, oral and written communication).

c) SKILLS. They show the abilities of the candidates to perform the functions derived from the
position. Its best exponent is simulation tests. In addition to the list of tests, the results will be
presented (including the raw data if the report is addressed to another professional or the
company) and their interpretation for each of the candidates, without identifying them by
name.

3) Selection . The optimal degrees of possession of the attributes measured by the previous
tests and the selection of those candidates who pass them are identified. Here the
information from the selection interview is collected, the purpose of which is to evaluate the
professional characteristics of the candidates, in addition to achieving two-way communication
between the company and the applicant and serving as a control system for the selection
process. Normally, information is collected that is very relevant in areas such as: attitudes and
motivations towards employment, emotional reactions to task overload, degree of stress and
anxiety, negotiating capacity, decision making, social skills, etc.

4) Results and hiring decision. The results of each candidate are communicated. The suitability
of each of the candidates is compared in order to determine the most suitable ones for
carrying out the job. A ranked list of the most excellent candidates is proposed. It can be done
in a final personal interview or in writing.

5) Assessment of the process. If possible, contact the company again after a certain time
interval. In this section, information will be recorded on: - Efficiency of the worker hired by the
proposed selection in his or her job (objective criterion) - Satisfaction of the worker himself,
the company and co-workers with the hiring that was made (subjective criterion). )

1.4. Report template for basic research

It consists of the following sections:

1. Introduction.

- Theoretical review of the problem that justifies what is going to be carried out, including the
description of programs that refer to the same or similar objective of the research. -
Hypotheses and objectives

2) Methodology. It is divided into three subsections:

- Subjects: detailed description of the characteristics of the subjects participating in the

research

- Measures: Information collection techniques are listed and their characteristics are
described.
PSYCHOLOGICAL REPORT

- Procedure: The way in which the evaluation was carried out is precisely described
(application of the measures including the place, time of day, data collection design...) and the
treatment, the experimental design and the plans for collect tracking data.

3) Results . Analysis of data after application of the treatment. It is important to present the
data graphically and describe the changes. Include tracking.

4) Discussion . The following aspects should be noted:

- Summary of the results and comparison with the literature about similar results.

- General comments on aspects of the specific treatment of the case that provide something
new (reasons for the success or failure of the program, whether the hypotheses have been
tested).

- Suggestions for the future (suggestions to improve efficiency, practical suggestions).

5) Bibliographic references.
