99 days to go before the 2014 Psychometrician Licensure Exam, are you ready? Still reading and reviewing? What are your review strategies? For most of us doing self-review have you covered most of the subjects?

It is advised to focus your attention on the TOS and familiarize yourself with outcome-based assessment - here and here. 

We hope soon we can post sample of our outcome-based quizzes.

So until then, we hope to see you all the exam date and of course the oath taking of Psychometrician Board Passers! 
 

DSM5 Diagnostic Criteria and Coding

Image source - http://www.psychiatry.org/Image%20Library/Publications/DSM-5_3D.gif

From the list below there are 20 Diagnostic Criteria under the new DSM5 (2013). Which among the list would likely be included in the licensure exam? For us at TR Review we based our consideration from the Course Specifications provided by CHED which includes the following:

• Disorders usually first diagnosed in infancy, childhood or adolescence                             

• Cognitive Disorders                                                                                                      

• Substance-related Disorders                                                                                                     

• Schizophrenia and other Psychotic Disorders                                                                               

• Mood Disorders                                                                                                                        

• Anxiety Disorders                                                                                                                     

• Dissociative Disorders                                                                                                              

• Personality Disorders

Note:  we are not saying these will be the only topics (criteria) that  will be covered, but we suggest to give emphasis in your review. As future Psychometrician would you think these criteria will be useful? We think they are. 

But please do not limit yourself in learning only these criteria but also learn the rest of the criteria: the nuances, similarities and relatedness of some with the other criteria. We included in the description of each criteria a summary from wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM-5

Diagnostic Criteria Coding

Read more here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM-5_codes

Important notes on the new DSM5:

To increase the utility to the clinician, the new version replaces the NOS (not otherwise specified) categories with two options: 

1) other specified disorder  - allows the clinician to specify the reason that the criteria for a specific disorder are not met

2) unspecified disorder - allows the clinician the option to forgo specification.

DSM-5 has discarded the multiaxial system of diagnosis (formerly Axis I, Axis II, Axis III), listing all disorders in Section II. It has replaced Axis IV with significant psychosocial and contextual features and dropped Axis V (Global Assessment of Functioning, known as GAF). The World Health Organization's (WHO) Disability Assessment Schedule is added to Section III (Emerging measures and models) under Assessment Measures, as a suggested, but not required, method to assess functioning.^[3]

An Account of Being a Pioneer Psychometrician through the Grandfather Clause of RA 10029

Below is an account of Sir Victorius Q. Bibera, one of the pioneer Licensed Psychometricians in the Philippines. He is one of those who availed of the grandfather clause of Republic Act 10029, Philippine Psychology Act of 2009 that of being registered as Psychometrician without examination. The law provides exemption of taking the licensure exam provided that requirements for exemption are satisfied. Congratulations to all Registered Psychometricians Without Examination! Congrats sir Victorius Bibera! Thank you for sharing your experience here in our blog.

It is an honor to be a part of the Pioneering Batch of Psychometricians Registered Without Examination, Under R.A. (Republic Act) 10029. When I learned about the approval of the law to regulate the Psychologist and Psychometrician profession, I was one of the hopefuls who are seeking to be exempted from the licensure examination.

Last February 7, 2013, I attended the Briefing on the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 10029 at the De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde and learned interesting insights and information about the approved law of exempting psychology and psychometrics practitioners who had been practicing the profession for considerable number of years. Having read the qualifications, I gained confidence that I can be a part of Pioneering Batch of Registered Psychometricians. Firstly, I have earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and obtained experience as a Psychometrician for three and a half years prior to June 2, 2010 (before the law was enacted).

One day after the seminar, I did my online pre-screening application at the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) website. Moreover, I started to prepare and gather the necessary requirements like Transcript of Records, NBI clearance, three (3) certificates of good moral character from my graduate school professor, community and employer, certificate of employment with job description (psychometric work) and ID pictures. I proceeded to PRC to submit my requirements last March 27, 2013 and was advised by the attending personnel to follow-up on the status of my licensure application after 2 months. Then came May 18, 2013, I randomly checked PRC website for updates and was delighted to see my name on Resolution No. 2 Pioneering Batch of Psychometricians. On May 28, 2013, I went to PRC to pay for the initial registration and annual fees.

I was informed by my co-worker on the first week of July 2013 that there will be a scheduled oath taking for Pioneering Batch of Psychologists and Psychometricians on July 19, 2013 at Sofitel Manila. I signified my intention to join the oath taking through paying the ticket at the Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP) office. Then came July 19, 2013, I attended the event alone with the hope of meeting old friends and colleagues. It was indeed a satisfying feeling to witness and experience the first oath taking of my fellow Psychometricians and well-esteemed Psychologists. I was glad to see one of my graduate school classmates, my former mentor in Philippine Psychological Corporation and my graduate school professor in De La Salle University.

During that time, I was working as a High School Guidance Counselor and I have not yet reaped the fruits of my labor (my license). On a positive note, I am sure that it will help me to become more competent in my field of discipline as I plan to venture into psychological testing soon. Last April 2014, I applied as a Psychometrician in the same school I am working upon learning that one of the Psychometricians will be on leave for a year. Fortunately, I was taken in as a Psychometrician assigned to Grade 7 to Grade 12 students. I am still hopeful and positive to finish my graduate thesis the soonest time possible.

First Roster of Filipino Pyschometricians by Registration Without Examination

Below is the Resolution No. 02, series of 2013 of the Professional Regulatory Board of Psychology that was issued on 17th of May 2013.   From the list,  a total of 54 composed the first ever roster of licensed Filipino Psychometrician registered without examination, they who have availed the so called grandfather clause of the law. Less than 10  (7 were identified male names and another 2 names sound like a male name) are males and the majority are females.

Note that after and beyond  May 21, 2015,  the grandfather clause will not take effect anymore. So inform your friends and other Psychology graduates to avail of this provision  for as long as they can prove they qualify (work experience/professional practice).
