"This masterful integration of theory and research focuses on thecontributions of standardized psychological instruments to theassessment process. Very thoughtful chapters on the history ofpersonality assessment, the assessment process, psychometrics, andethical issues set the stage. This is likely the single bestcompilation that surveys the diverse methods that expert diagnosticconsultants employ every single day." (Journal of PersonalityAssessment, 91(2), 2009)

"The majority of the Handbook provides knowledge, clear anddistinct as Descartes (1641/1996) would have hoped, on theessentials--namely, history, administration, scoring,validity, interpretation, common applications, andpsychometrics--of the most commonly used standardizedpsychological tests. Self-report inventories include the MinnesotaMultiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), MMPI-A, MillonClinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III), PersonalityAssessment Inventory (PAI), and revised NEO Personality Inventory,while the performance-based tests include the Rorschach (InkblotMethod), Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), and variousfigure-drawing and sentence completion methods. What's unusualamong true believers--and Weiner and Greene are true believersin the best sense when it comes to standardized psychologicaltests--is the ease with which one is made aware of what is notknown."
---Richard W. Bloom (PsycCRITIQUES, 1554-0138, October22, 2008, Vol. 53, Release 43,! Article 6)
