B>" Unique in both perspective and approach, this book exposes readers to the entire panorama of psychological testing -- covering all major classic and contemporary topics -- but "without" overwhelming detail. Comprehensive -- but not encyclopedic -- and cross-culturally relevant, it conveys in exceptionally clear language the "excitement" associated with psychological testing, and teaches basic principles through concrete interconnected examples. Focusing on " testing the individual" rather than on testing in general and specific formulas, it is both academic and applied in perspective -- reflecting the author's varied experience in industry, in a counseling center, and in other service oriented settings, and extensive academic training in clinical psychology. Addresses "basic issues" regarding The Nature of Tests; Test Construction, Administration, and Interpretation; and Reliability and Validity. Considers the various "dimensions" of testing: Personality; Cognition; Attitudes, Values, and Interests; Psychopathology; Normal Positive Functioning. Details the "applications" of testing with a variety of populations: Special Children; The Elderly; Testing in a Cross-Cultural Context; Disability and Rehabilitation. Discusses the various settings of testing: Testing in the Schools; Occupational Settings; and Clinical and Forensic Settings. Presents the current "challenges to testing: " The Issue of Faking; The Role of Computers; and Testing Behavior and Environments. Outlines the History of Testing. For anyone interested in psychological testing in a broad range of settings.
