Appropriate for undergraduate/graduate courses in psychological testing, tests and measurements, and test construction. This classic, authoritative introduction to psychological testing is widely hailed for its broad coverage and ability to cover "graduate school" topics in terms that college freshmen can understand. It familiarizes students with the basics of test construction and prepares them to effectively evaluate different tests, choose tests for particular purposes and individual examines, and interpret scores properly.
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.
