Psychological tests provide reliable and objective standards by
which individuals can be evaluated in education and employment.
Therefore accurate judgements must depend on the reliability and
quality of the tests themselves. Originally published in 1986, this
handbook by an internationally acknowledged expert provided an
introductory and comprehensive treatment of the business of
constructing good tests. Paul Kline shows how to construct a test
and then to check that it is working well. Covering most kinds of
tests, including computer presented tests of the time, Rasch
scaling and tailored testing, this title offers: a clear
introduction to this complex field; a glossary of specialist terms;
an explanation of the objective of reliability; step-by-step
guidance through the statistical procedures; a description of the
techniques used in constructing and standardizing tests; guidelines
with examples for writing the test items; computer programs for
many of the techniques. Although the computer testing will
inevitably have moved on, students on courses in occupational,
educational and clinical psychology, as well as in psychological
testing itself, would still find this a valuable source of
information, guidance and clear explanation.
