Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

The goal of Psychological Testing is to teach students about the characteristics, objectives, and wide-ranging effects of psychological testing. In addition to the breadth of coverage of traditional topics, the fifth edition features new detailed presentations on neuropsychological and geriatric assessment, the early uses and abuses of testing, assessment of learning disabilities, testing in special settings, race differences in IQ, and cheating on national group achievement tests. The author describes and critiques the latest versions of the most widely used tests, examines the subtleties of the testing process, and explores the value-laden issues surrounding the wisdom of testing.

Other Highlights of the Fifth Edition

Chapter 2, “The History of Psychological Testing,” and Appendix A, “Major Landmarks in the History of Psychological Testing,” give students a broad overview of the field.
The importance of ethical and social issues in testing is emphasized in Chapter 1, “Applications and Consequences of Testing.”
Real-world case studies bring concepts to life for students.

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.
