Some specialize in giving personality tests to see if a person needs treatment, and what kind. They typically work in private offices, mental hospitals, prisons or clinics.  ]]> 2017-01-26 18:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/janiszan2019/na5mjdq0pzi1/wish/149712875 janiszan2019 https://padlet.com/janiszan2019/na5mjdq0pzi1/wish/149715948 Clinical psychologists need a masters degree in clinical psychology. Then, they need a doctorate degree, and 1-2 years as an intern. After, they might need to complete clinical training, depending on their state. This whole process takes around 5-7 years. ]]> 2017-01-26 18:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/janiszan2019/na5mjdq0pzi1/wish/149715948 janiszan2019 https://padlet.com/janiszan2019/na5mjdq0pzi1/wish/149716719 You need many people skills as you are dealing with people. In order to help people with their problems, you need to have excellent communication and listening skills. You need to be honest with your clients, and have empathy towards people. Another important skill is being able to help people who are in distress, and you must also be able to work well in stressful situations. Two final skills that would be useful are problem solving and good decision making skills. ]]> 2017-01-26 18:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/janiszan2019/na5mjdq0pzi1/wish/149716719 janiszan2019 https://padlet.com/janiszan2019/na5mjdq0pzi1/wish/149722074 The average salary for a clinical psychologist is around $70,000-80,000 per year. ]]> 2017-01-26 19:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/janiszan2019/na5mjdq0pzi1/wish/149722074 janiszan2019 https://padlet.com/janiszan2019/na5mjdq0pzi1/wish/149722705 This job can be very hard. Dealing with stressful situations combined with lots of paperwork and difficult insurance companies can make psychologists not enjoy their job. But the reward of helping clients and seeing them get better is high. A big payoff of being a clinical psychologist is that you can do this for the rest of your life. You can help people, and do good things and reach goals that you have. That is very rewarding in itself. ]]> 2017-01-26 19:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/janiszan2019/na5mjdq0pzi1/wish/149722705 janiszan2019 https://padlet.com/janiszan2019/na5mjdq0pzi1/wish/149727384 I was not surprised by the results of the test. I've been told that I am a good listener, so it wasn't surprising that I got a clinical psychologist.

It would be rewarding to help people with their problems but the only bad part would be having to go to college for 5-7 years.  ]]> 2017-01-26 19:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/janiszan2019/na5mjdq0pzi1/wish/149727550
