The field of psychometrics has a long and varied tradition across
the social sciences. A range of academics have sought to understand
human consciousness more fully by statistical testing our
abilities, personalities, attitudes and beliefs. But perhaps the
area where psychometric techniques have had most impact on
contemporary society is in employee recruitment, where a range of
psychometric tests have become common-place. Professor Peter
Saville is one of the pioneers of adapting psychometric testing to
the field of occupational psychology and human resource management.
In a career of nearly 40 years, his work has been adopted by
hundreds of public and private organizations, assessing the
suitability of prospective candidates through a range of
questionnaires and tests. In this anthology of his work, including
both keynote conference address and journal papers, Saville
provides a masterly overview of the field of psychometrics, and the
key issues and questions that it raises. An ideal companion for any
student or researcher of HRM, occupational or organizational
psychology, or applied psychology in general, Peter Saville's
selected works represent the thinking of one of the most
influential psychologists of our time.
