Assessment is an important part of any psychologist's role and the
outcome can have consequences, positive and negative, for the
person being assessed. The principles and practice of psychological
assessment is a guide to drawing up, administering and interpreting
assessment procedures, and judging whether the techniques used are
theoretically and procedurally sound. It also takes a special look
at assessment from an organisational perspective, because although
many of the technical and scientific issues with respect to
psychological assessment are common to all areas of applied
psychology, there are numerous issues and applications that are
unique to the organisational context. The principles and practice
of psychological assessment is more of a "how to" than a critical
text, but includes some background information and in-depth
theorising for more problematic issues. A glossary of terms and a
unique cognitive map of psychological tests are provided. Changes
in this third edition include a new chapter on the history of
assessment in South Africa, and the dominant narrative in some
quarters that industrial psychologists set out deliberately to
ensure the failure of some segments of the workforce. The
principles and practice of psychological assessment is aimed at
third year and honours students of psychology and industrial
psychology as well as practitioners.
