Abstract
Effective assessment practice is dependent on synthesizing data from multiple sources. Our standard literature and experimental data base does not supply all the information practitioners need to provide assessment services. Practitioners must engage in a variety of novel operations to generate an acceptable assessment product. The role of the practitioner may be conceptualized as an independent contributor to the knowledge base underlying assessment. In this article, I articulate a series of stages serving as a guideline in integrating discrepant data from a Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) and Rorschach for a disturbed patient. The integrated data provides a more precise understanding of the patient than either data set by itself.
