5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have!,
By "chrishoyt100" (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Intelligent Testing with the WISC-III (Wiley Series on Personality Processes) (Hardcover)
I read Kaufman's book in a graduate class on assessment and intelligence testing. I still refer to it whenever I have unusual test scores with a WISC-III. It explains in a comprehensive and clear manner how a competent psychologist should interpret the WISC-III. It is worth every penny.

Kaufman does it again!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Intelligent Testing with the WISC-III (Wiley Series on Personality Processes) (Hardcover)
Nicely done! A good follow-up to his WISC-R book, this is an enjoyable, in-depth look at something most psychologists don't know enough about.
