Infos

Psychological Testing: A Practical Introduction offers students of psychology and allied disciplines a comprehensive survey of psychometric techniques while exploring the underlying psychological principles of the methodology. Coverage including test norms, reliability, validity and test development provides fundamental knowledge of psychological concepts, while examinations of individual and group tests, neuropsychological assessment, projective techniques, and clinical instruments and methods introduce major categories of psychological testing procedures. Recognizing that active engagement maximizes learning, the text is presented as an active learning device rather than a reference work. Extensive use of chapter objectives, key point and end-of-chapter summaries, practice problems, case study discussions, internet-based resources, and statistics skills review enable students to engage more fully with the material for a deeper understanding. Written in a clear, reader-friendly style, the text approaches challenging topics by balancing technical rigor with relatable examples of contemporary applications to provide a solid foundation for real-world psychological test administration.
