4.0 out of 5 stars Psychological Testing simplified., May 14, 2007

Gale Oxley (Diego Martin ,Trinidad) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Psychological Testing: History, Principles, and Applications (5th Edition) (Hardcover)

Psychological Testing:History, Principles and Applications (5th Edition) has provided the graduate student with a simplified version of psychological testing. This text can be used with any reader that goes through the rigors of learning the rudiments of psychological testing. What is most valuable in this text is the categories of tests and their explanations with case exhibits. The summaries assist with memory and easy recall of facts while the key terms and concepts after each chapter provide the student with easy recall and a simple glossary.
