This was a required text for one of my classes on psychological testing. It's really a great read. There are so many fascinating topics it covers, including very mundane and dry ones. I liked the writing style and the layout was easy to follow. I highly recommend renting this book, although I did contemplate keeping it. I'm sure I'll get more instruction on this topic in graduate school, but it definitely made a boring class pretty exceptional. It has a lot of historical content and suggestions for tests. I'm definitely a better test--taker/test-evaluator because of it. It really drills into your head reliability and validity, so it helps with experimental scientific side of psychology as well.By Ani
Poorly written. It often gives separate definitions for terms and then uses the different terms like they are synonymous. In a five dollar Grisham novel this would be kind of irritating. In a two hundred dollar text book it is completely unacceptable.By whatever
