This text discusses the origin and nature of controversies in the realm of psychological measurement and assessment, and proposes means for resolving recurring problems. It is presented from a conceptual rather than statistical framework and is relevant to all areas of psychological practice.
The psychological assessment and measurement of individuals in a technological society is common place. These techniques are used for diagnostic purposes in clinical populations and for screening personality and skill factors for complex jobs and occupations. But what is really being tested? And what are the limits to the interpretations of these measures? This text discusses the origin and nature of controversies in this realm and the best means for resolving recurring problems. Presented from a conceptual rather than a statistical framework, this book should prove useful to those in clinical psychology, counselling, and industrial/organizational human resource management.
