Diagnostic competence
The diagnostic expertise is those skills a person in the execution of a diagnostic process are needed. According to Jäger (1983, 2003), diagnostic competence consists of the following sub-competencies:
- Psychodiagnostic competence: a competence that encompasses the entire diagnosis in relation to various diagnostic perspectives, concepts and methods (Booth, 1999; partly by Jäger, 2006)
- Competence knowledge: the knowledge to be able to classify emerging questions in one's own competence spectrum and to either answer or pass them on according to one's own level of knowledge. The diagnostician improves his knowledge or turns to competent people
- Conditional knowledge: the knowledge of influences that cause an experience or behavior
- Change knowledge: the knowledge to develop and use strategies to change an experience and behavior
- Technological knowledge: the knowledge to select suitable survey and evaluation methods
- Comparative knowledge: the knowledge to classify individual behavior considering the comparison group
