Psychological testing

by Anne Anastasi

The 1990's have witnessed a continuation and expansion of the upsurge of interest in psychological testing that was evident in the 1980's. This growth is indicated by the development of new tests some representing novel approaches as well as by the revisions of earlier tests and continued research on existing tests. In selecting instruments for mention or discussion, a primary goal was to expose readers to the rich variety of measurement tools available in the field today, as well as to some historically significant tests and and attempt to cover the field or even a significant segment of it in a comprehensive fashion would have been clearly beyond the scope of this book.

F this book! I took statistics in Undergrad and have to constantly reference that book. This book is wordy, it doesn't get the the freaking point it's very frustrating. It's hard to find definitions. I have too look to see what a chapter covers for a test and then google it to learn things. The only thing useful about this book is to know what to google for upcoming test. This book needs to be re-done. I *****ng hate this book.

Could use more charts to show ages of tests

No clue why my professor is using this old version

An excellent book which provides clarity about the conceptual parts of psychological testing, especially reliability and validity, without getting too entrapped in statistics part of it.

Finally I found this textbook I've been looking for years, thanks for my prof reminding me by mentioning the author's name. :) I learned a lot in this book more than from my actual classes.

Sebenarnya banyak sekali penjelasan mengenai metodologi yg menarik di buku ini. Sayangnya, letaknya kadang-kadang "nyempil" sehingga sulit menemukannya kembali. Lalu, agaknya struktur bab dan subbab kurang rapih sehingga agak sulit kalau membacanya per subbab dan tidak urut (misalnya, pengen tau ttg concurrent validity, lalu besoknya baca developmental norm, baru lusa baca face validity. Maka waktu baca face validity, akan sedikit bingung krn ada ttg face validity yg "nyempil" di concurrent validity). Untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yg menyeluruh, maka baiknya baca bab awal secara utuh sebelum melanjutkan ke bab berikutnya.
