Psychological assessment is an important and recognizable aspect of the services provided by psychologists in Western countries. Various countries use psychological assessment for various reasons, such as recruitment; selection; placement; legal decisions; education; and classification in commerce, industry, and the military. Research on cross-cultural psychological assessment indicates that some countries can translate and adapt nonindigenous assessment instruments to capture their cultural beliefs and experiences; whereas, others have not succeeded in doing so. Because of the failure of successful adaptation and enculturation of Western instruments, many non-Western countries are poorly served in using foreign psychological assessment instruments in their own contexts. This study examines the existing personality assessment instruments used by Nigerian psychologists. It highlights the selection processes employed in choosing applicants for clergy in the Nigerian setting. Its goal is to identify how evaluations are conducted and the degree to which nonnative psychological assessment tools are used and their potential impact. Since Nigeria is among those countries that have not developed culturally valid psychological assessment tests, future researchers are encouraged to examine possible ways of establishing culturally grounded and modified guidelines for the Nigerian clinician to be followed when evaluating and interpreting the test results.
