This book outlines the main concepts of assessment, explains the types of measures that are used to assess human behavior, and examines how such measures are to be used. It investigates how measures are developed and adapted so that they are culturally appropriate and free of bias. The following new and updated sections are included:
a new chapter on computer based assessment;
an updated look at professional practice issues;
an expanded range of measures is discussed so that it is more inclusive of the types of tests used in applied practice and industry;
a stronger focus on multicultural assessment;
examples revised in light of the fact that the book is used increasingly by industrial psychology students (faculties of management) and not only clinical or counselling students;
a question bank will accompany the text.
