From a perspective that focuses on the meaning, purpose, and implications of key psychometric concepts, principles, and procedures, Psychometrics: An Introduction, Second Edition (by R. Michael Furr and Verne R. Bacharach) introduces the subject and study of psychometrics. It addresses these topics at a level that is deeper and more focused than what is found in typical introductory undergraduate testing and measurement texts, but is much more intuitive than what is traditionally found in the more technical publications intended for advanced graduate courses. By emphasizing concepts over mathematical proofs and by focusing on practical significance, this book assists students in appreciating not just how measurement problems can be addressed, but why it is crucial to address them.

A good starting book for non-experts and psychometricians

July 28, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Excellent book for psychometricians, researchers, and test developers. A bit technical for those without too much background, but still a much easier read with more explanations for non-experts than other similar books.

Poor figure/formula quality in kindle version.

September 11, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This textbook is very well written, but the figures in the kindle/e-textbook are useless. They are very small and of poor quality. I'm sure they are better in the actual printed book, but if you'd like to read the formulas that author so kindly included, you should not get the kindle version.

Fantastically written book - It's refreshing to find a book about measurement and statistics which doesn't consist of page after page of mathematical formulae. This book does and excellent job in explaining all the important concepts of psychometrics and the application of these concepts in real situations.

Written Really, Really Well...

April 12, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

If you're taking an elementary psychometrics course, this is a really great text. The book is full of examples that make the understanding of such difficult concepts, such as validity and reliability, easier to understand. I only gave it four stars because the text would have been stronger if a section with key assumptions or points comparing the main issues would have been included.

Speaking as a marketing science person, not an academic, this is the best introduction to the field of Psychometrics I know.
