Providing a perspective for teaching psychological testing, this book "tells the story" of testing within a chronological framework. Based on an integrated social and psychological interpretation of testing as an important aspect of North American society, this approach balances coverage between the history and the essentials of psychological testing and allows for discussion of the relationship between society and testing throughout. Rogers presents the ideas of the testing field in the contexts in which they emerged and places testing squarely within ongoing debates and controversies in the discipline of psychology.

Using this book as a text for undergraduate courses,
By Holiday Adair (Pittsburgh) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Psychological Testing Enterprise: An Introduction (Psychology) (Hardcover)
I am an associate professor at a public, 4-year university. I have used Rogers' text every time I have taught testing (at an introductory undergraduate level). I find it to be the most interesting to read, the easiest to use to get the principles of testing across to students and a resourceful tool for teaching. It contains chapter questions that stimulate class discussion. It also covers more than psychometrics - it discusses the social, philosophical and historical context in which testing takes place. Students' reactions are generally positive.
