The second edition has been updated to incorporate the latest theory and research, and now has expanded coverage of scoring, item response theory and factor analysis. It includes new chapters on ‘Intelligence’ and ‘Personality and Individual Difference’, and new pedagogical features-learning objectives, key terms and practitioner profiles- to enhance student learning.
the depth with which some topics are covered is impressive. … A great strength of this book would also have to be the instructor resources that accompany it; in particular, the impressive number of both multiple-choice and short-answer questions available for each chapter. … The authors also did an excellent job ensuring that content was up to date, which was clearly highlighted when reference was made to the Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory of cognitive abilities.
