Psychometrics,

This review is from: Psychological Testing: A Practical Introduction (Hardcover)
I like the book. It is pretty easy to get through, although it is a bit detailed for my uses. I don't love the book, but I don't hate it either. It is also a bit of a hassle to go back to the Figures that they point you to that aren't on the page you're reading. It would be helpful if it was all there at once, but other than that the book is pretty decent.
