Foundations of Psychological Testing: A Practical Approach

�� used McIntire and Miller's book on testing in my research course two years ago. Students loved this book for its clarity and personality. It is hard to imagine how the authors could have improved on the First Edition. Nevertheless, this new edition of the Foundations of Psychological Testing is better than any of its competitors. The authors should be congratulated for making a topic that has been formidable to students in the past much more accessible to today's students.��/em> �� - Douglas Herrmann, Emeritus Professor, Indiana State University;��Director of Research, Practical Memory Institute

The Second Edition of Foundations of Psychological Testing: A Practical Approach is a scholarly, yet pragmatic and easy to understand text for undergraduate students new to the field of psychological testing. Using an engaging, conversational format, authors Sandra A. McIntire and Leslie A. Miller aim to prepare students to be informed consumers-as test users or test takers-not to teach students to administer or interpret individual psychological tests.����
