Foundations of Psychological Testing

by Sandra A. McIntire, Leslie A. Miller

Authors Sandra McIntire and Leslie Miller have accomplished what few before them have been able to. They have written a Psychological Testing book that is designed to lay a true foundation for learning and understanding. The primary objective of this text is not to dwell on the details of individual psychological tests, but to focus on the core concepts/psychometrics required to gain an appreciation of how to use the tests properly. Written in response to a growing need for a textbook on psychological testing conducive to maximal student learning, An Introduction Psychological Testing, gives students an understanding of the basic concepts, issues and tools used in psychological testing. It then effectively illustrates how these concepts, issues, and tools are relevant to them in everyday educational, clinical, and organizational settings.

finally done with this textbook! it definitely was very informative, and has really good information that pertains to a career in psychology, but man is it a dense and nit gritty book. I am so glad that my class that went along with this book, allowed us to use notes and the book on exams, or I would of died. given that fact. I have seriously thought I about keeping it instead of returning my rented copy, I see it coming into good use later in my career. we will see what happens though.

Great content but also very readable. Almost conversational sometimes, like someone who is present with you and trying to explain both the background context and the other important considerations of each aspect. Lots of interesting examples, very accessible.

Interesting book about personality tests, it discusses what and how we are tested and why.
