A perfect complement to Anastasi's book, and provides updates and contemporary literature on current state of psychological testing

[Harjum]

the best book for Psychologist

[Michelli · Rating 1 out of 5]

If I could give this book no stars, I would. After reading this book for a college course, it honestly seems like it was originally written in a different language, and then copied and pasted into Google Translate. There is colloquial language mixed with formal terminology. It is not user friendly; there are no chapter summaries, and very few visuals. The topics are also very poorly organized, and don't flow well. In my opinion, this textbook promotes frustration instead of learning.

[Carly · Rating 2 out of 5]

Oh my.

This book was a BEAST to read. The only reason it is receiving 2, and not 1 star is that the last chapters were actually somewhat interesting, discussing the legal ramifications of testing (including a blurb about how the Texas Education Agency was sued in 2000 over the TAAS. Lucky residents of Texas now have the new and improved TAKS--note the sarcasm).

I also, despite my hatred of this book, liked the discussion of career, interest and personality tests. (All 1.5 chapters devoted to it.) Since I believe these to be the tests that I will actually find myself using as a school counselor.

I now have a research-based hardened look at all the standardized tests I have ever taken or administered. My conclusion: tests suck.
