This text provides a succinct and clear analysis of the subject of psychological testing from a contemporary viewpoint and modern perspective, based on a novel approach. The book covers various types of tests and their applications, the increased responsibility of users in selecting appropriate tests and methods, interpreting scores, and communicating and using test results. Besides, it provides information on test constructions, i. E. How tests are developed to meet the needs of a test user. The book also provides simple explanations of some of the widely used and rapidly developing concepts and procedures which are likely to affect psychometric practices in the 21st century. Because of the rapid strides made in technological advances, especially in computers and information processing, the text takes into account the increasing influence of computerization in test development, test construction and test administration besides the use of computers in test screening and processing.
