Product Description
This text offers a comprehensive account of the whole of the field of psychometrics. It covers psychometric theory, the different kinds of psychological test, applied psychological testing, and the evaluation of the best published psychological tests. It provides a detailed coverage of the field and places an emphasis on the practical application of psychometric theory in psychology and education, as well as in vocational, occupational and clinical fields. For this second edition the "Handbook" has been extensively revised and updated to include the latest research and thinking in the field at the end of the 20th century. The text challenges the scientific rigour of conventional psychometrics and identifies new ways forward.

An excellent introduction
19 Feb 1998
Format:Paperback
As a lay person who has been subjected to personality tests in a child care court matter I was interested to find out how reliable these tests are. I found what I was looking for and realised that the psychologist carrying out these tests and making adverse comments on me was of the incompetent variety - as I thought at the time. Now I realise why from a more technical point of view. I am now looking for comments about interpretation of the specific tests - and a critique of those specific tests used on me and how these tests should be "qualified as to their limitations" in court reports by psychologists
To what extent can these test results be extrapolated to predict reactions in typical stress situations?
