In order to build multicultural competence, we must reflect on our experiences in the larger social context. Think about a time when you felt different from others or you felt singled out because of your background (race/ethnicity/gender/sexual orientation/age/immigration status/veteran status/active duty status/etc.). Describe the event and accompanying thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You should describe your experiences using the Five D’s (distancing, denial, defensiveness, devaluing, and discovery). How can you apply this reflection to building multicultural competence in your own life?
Our differences can impact our practice with people or clients in the field and our personal experiences may cloud our judgment. How might you apply this knowledge to build multicultural competence in your career?
Please note: Do not share personal information you are not comfortable sharing. However, with that said, we need to learn about our differences in order to be culturally competent. Please be respectful when you share and reply. Be sure to pose a question for your peers or instructor.use APA 7th edition, in text citations and scholary resources. Respond to at least 2 peers.

c. When watching their video see the table below on skills and level of expertise that
can be noted in your reply. Most skills will be at “minimal” or “proficient.” At
this stage of development “Advanced” should be used rarely. You do not need to
post the table below. It is only a reference.
d. Then offer a reply that is at least 150 words focused on your classmate’s clinical
skills. Offer at least 2 strengths and 2 growth areas with timestamps. Offer two
paragraphs in your reply. The first paragraph offers strengths. The second

For this assignment, you will get the opportunity to engage in naturalistic observation.
Instructions:
As you start to observe these individuals in their natural setting, focus on their behavior. You may want to bring a notepad and take notes of the behavior while being very objective. This is naturalistic observation, so don’t try to interpret the behavior, only write down what you see.
Step 1: Observe.
Select a space where people congregate (farmers market, mall, playground, fair/carnival, etc.) and observe them for 30-45 minutes.
Once you have completed the observation, attempt to form a theory regarding human behavior you observed. Write about it in detail, answering the following questions.
1. State the location, time, date of the observation
2. What behavior did you select to focus on?
3. Can you say anything about people in general based on what you saw?
4. Did you see similarities in people’s behaviors?
5. Did you notice any differences in behavior (age, gender, race, etc.)?
6. Did you notice any potential research questions or hypotheses that may be of interest for future study?
7. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of research method?
Step 2.
Your response should be in a Word document, two to four pages long, written in APA format (12-point font, double spaced). Follow the rubric below.

Write a proposal for an organization’s leadership to screen candidates for a specific job position, according to the following scenario:
Company T is a large global organization consisting of 5,000 employees in multiple locations worldwide. Assume you are responsible for creating a battery of tests to use in selection to hire a person for training and development. Some of the skills you want the candidate to have include critical thinking, active listening skills, good time management, problem solving, instruction skills, and cross-cultural knowledge.
For this training and development job position, select three standardized tests that would be useful in screening job candidates. Describe each test and include the psychometric data. Identify the job characteristic or skill that you think the test would support (if a validity study were conducted). Develop a structured interview that could be used along with the battery of tests to appropriately assess the candidates.
Use the Mental Measurements Yearbook database, the Health and Psychosocial Instruments database, or the PsycTESTS database to research tests to use for selection screening. Be sure to write your proposal in a professional manner, keeping in mind your audience.
In your proposal:
Select a job position from within your organization and identify it as either industrial or organizational.
Use the Mental Measurements Yearbook database and/or the Health and Psychosocial Instruments database to select three appropriate standardized tests for this job position.
Describe each test and include the psychometric data and a reference for each test.
Identify the job characteristics that you think the test would support (if a validity study were conducted).
Develop a 15-question structured interview that could be used along with the battery of tests to appropriately assess individuals.
Provide a reference supporting your approach to the structured interview.
Explain how individual differences are evaluated in test interpretation.
Explain the ethical and diversity standards and considerations for testing.
