best fits the situations, groups of people, and programs that are
involved.

With an overview of clinical applications of temperament
assessments, Essentials of Temperament Assessment gathers as many
resources as possible to enable professionals to make their own
judgment about the most appropriate temperament assessments,
including:

* New York Longitudinal Scales Adult Temperament Questionnaire
(ATQ)

* Student Styles Questionnaire (SSQ)

Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological Assessment

professionals, and those in training, quickly acquire the knowledge
and skills they need to make optimal use of major psychological
assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features numerous
callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and
extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that
