About the Book

• Your students will get valuable practice in interpreting actual excerpts from published test manuals. • Each of the 39 exercises begins with a guideline that helps students review the measurement concepts they will need in order to complete the exercise. • Background notes on each exercise describe the purpose of the test from which the excerpt was drawn. • Students answer questions that require them to locate and interpret important points in the excerpt. • The excerpts are largely unabridged so that students practice interpreting material as it is actually presented by test makers. • The skills they learn with this book can be easily transferred to other test manuals they may be using in the future. • Students have an ethical responsibility to be thoroughly familiar with the technical characteristics of the tests they will use. This book prepares them for this responsibility. • All major topics are covered, including: · validity · reliability · standard error of measurement · norm group composition · derived scores · scales to detect faking · item analysis · cultural bias • The excerpts are drawn from tests such as: · Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children · Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test · 16PF · Stanford Binet Intelligence Scale · MMPI · Beck Depression Inventory · Stanford Achievement Test Series · KeyMath · and many others!
