The most important tasks for the diveres specialites of psychologists (clinical, school, industrial, social and research psychologists) were ranked by each speciality. correlations between the tasks of each practicing specialty showed a significant r between clinical an school psychologists (r = .878), also uses of knowledge showed a highly significant r for clinicians and school psychologists (.866). A principal components factor analysis of the 106 tasks, identified seven (7) varimax rotated factors. A principal component factor analysis of the 20 knowledge use items identified six knowledge areas.
