psychometrics, succinctly presents the information needed to
understand and evaluate tests, and introduces readers to the major
contemporary reference works in the field. This engaging, practical
overview of the most relevant psychometric concepts and techniques
provides the foundation necessary for advanced study in the field
of psychological assessment. Each clear, well-organized chapter
includes new examples and references, featuring callout boxes
highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and extensive
illustrative material, as well as Test Yourself questions that help
gauge and reinforce readers grasp of the information covered. The
author s extensive experience and deep understanding of the
concepts presented are evident throughout the book, particularly
when readers are reminded that tests are tools and that, like all
tools, they have limitations. Starting with a basic introduction to
psychological tests, their historical development, and their uses,
the book also covers the statistical procedures most frequently
used in testing, the frames of reference for score interpretation,
reliability, validity and test item considerations, as well as the
latest guidelines for test selection, administration, scoring and
reporting test results. Whether as an orientation for those new to
the field, a refresher for those already acquainted with it, or as
reference for seasoned clinicians, this book is an invaluable
resource. SUSANA URBINA, PHD, is Professor Emeritus of Psychology
