"At last - a book that is comprehensive, balanced and sensitive
in its approach to the intellectual assessment of minority
children. This book will quickly become a standard text in courses
on assessment and diversity."" --Jonathan Sandoval, "University of
California, Davis
""Congratulations to Richard Valencia and Lisa Suzuki for
producing a long overdue, comprehensive and balanced treatment of
cognitive assessment for minority children. This volume should
prove to be a great value for practitioners and researchers
alike."" --Terry Gutkin, "University of Nebraska-Lincoln""
"I believe that "Intelligence Testing and Minority Students "is
absolutely outstanding. Valencia and Suzuki demonstrate unusually
rich research-based, theoretical, practical, and clinical
foundations for treating the important and thorough set of topics
covered by the book. Their underlying compassion is also evident
throughout the book. I recommend this book to everyone in the field
of assessment; it is "must" reading for anyone who tests minority
students."" --Alan S. Kaufman, "Yale University School of
Medicine""
"This book should be required reading for those who work in this
field either in a research or clinical capacity, but is especially
important for those who have reservations about the use of
standardized tests for intellectual assessment. It is a highly
valuable reference."" --Robert Rueda, "University of Southern
California""
"This is a very rich resource on the history of "intelligence"
testing and it's application to diverse ethnic groups. Theoretical
and applied topics are well integrated in the discussions. Most
important is the inclusion of the record of white supremacy
ideology, the issues of cultural salience in measurement, and the
issues of usage. I know of no other reference on this topic that is
as comprehensive as is this one."" --Asa G. Hilliard III, "Georgia
State University

What roles do socioeconomic status, home intellectual
environment, test bias, and heredity play in explaining measured
intellectual performance between and within racial/ethnic groups?
Intelligence Testing and Minority Students provides a fresh
opportunity to reexamine the construct of intelligence, as well as
its strengths and weaknesses. Viewed as a psychometric tour de
force, this work provides a concrete argument for prioritizing the
nation's testing needs as well as the multicultural perspectives of
intelligence.
Psychometricians and practitioners alike will find this book to
be a useful reference in understanding assessment tests and their
relationship with minority students. With the rising necessity for
better and more comprehensive testing, it has become of the utmost
of importance to respond fairly and validly to the diversity of
this nation's citizens. The authors have acknowledged this need by
including a thorough discussion of cognitive testing issues as well
as an exploration of future movements. From the historical views of
testing to the future direction of nondiscriminatory assessment, no
professional should be without this must-have reference.About the
