4.0 out of 5 starsAiken's book as a teaching text
By Elaine Albertson on August 1, 2005
Format: Hardcover
Aiken's "Psychological Testing and Assessment" (11th ed.) is a well-organized and well-written work. Having used it to teach two undergraduate courses to date, I would have the following comments.

Aiken makes a few somewhat stereotypical assumptions in regard to certain aspects of assessments, particularly in regard to socioeconomic status and, less often, gender. He also tended to gloss over some rather important subjects such as Central Limit Theorem, which could have enjoyed a little more attention even though it is assumed that readers have completed at least basic statistics.

Altogether, however, the book is a very good choice for university level...either undergraduate or graduate...teaching of the principles and practice of testing and assessment.

3.0 out of 5 starsIQ testing for the faint-hearted
By Chris Brand on May 26, 2008
Format: Hardcover
Written 1996

There is doubtless a need for stolidly professional books about IQ-testing. Many trainees for psychology careers and research assistantships need to know how to test IQ even though they would rather spend their time bemoaning psychometrics and its latent ideologies of measurability and inequality. For apprehensive newcomers to the assessment of intelligence, Aiken's book is the near-perfect answer. It sets forth the nuts and bolts of standardized testing plainly, sensibly and in a way that is unlikely to upset anyone. Aiken provides three general chapters on history, concepts and procedures, seven Buros-style chapters on published tests, and concludes with three chapters touching on explanatory issues and the main obstacles to acceptance of IQ-testing. Everything that the trainee tester could want is here -- including a reminder to provide special desks for left-handers, and an intriguing specimen Parental Consent Form (in use by the Los Angeles Unified School District) offering the assurance that NO STANDARDIZED INTELLIGENCE (I.Q.) TESTS WILL BE GIVEN.

The 'balance' favoured by textbook writers is well maintained throughout. Every significant move towards assertion is rapidly followed by a disclaimer or denial. The Kaufman Ability Scales are commended, but their relative equalization of blacks and whites is admitted to depend on the inclusion of a larger-than-usual number of 'memory' subtests. The possible effect of birth order on IQ makes an interesting story; but it is acknowledged that recent research suggests some kind of failure of researchers to control adequately for later-borns necessarily coming from larger families.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsGood!
By Nikki on February 18, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Used this book in my own doctoral class, and it really explains the material. Many textbooks are so dry, I can barely get through the material, but this one was somewhat interesting and easy to learn from.

This book was required for class. It is a really boring read but I need it so I had to buy it. The seller was quick with the shipping and the book was in excellent condition so I have no complaints there.

It is an okay book. Some of the text is a little difficult to understand. So, it is not totally student friendly.
