Review :
An insightful and thought provoking journey into the psychology of individual differences.  If you have ever wondered about how people differ from each other, this text is for you! This is an excellent introductory individual differences book.  It encourages the reader to be analytical and critical in thinking about personality psychology and thus helps engender some of the skills that are central to higher education. This SAGE Foundations of Psychology textbook provides a superb introduction to the field of personality, intelligence and individual differences. Students will especially appreciate the quality of exposition that renders often difficult-to-grasp topics easy to understand, including importantly how they relate to the broader field of psychological science.
