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.
