Synopsis

Unlock the science behind how mental tests are designed, standardized, and interpreted.

This edition presents a clear overview of why careful standardization matters for fair, meaningful diagnoses in clinical psychology.

The book explains how practitioners move from studying tests themselves to understanding what a test reveals about an individual. It covers the goals of norms, age-based comparisons, and the need for reliable procedures to avoid misdiagnosis. Readers will gain insight into how researchers assess test performance and how scoring decisions relate to real-world clinical decisions.

  • Foundations of test standardization and why it matters for accurate diagnosis
  • Historical context on how norms and age-graded scales were developed
  • How researchers compare different tests and interpret what they measure
  • Practical considerations for using tests responsibly in clinical work

Ideal for students and professionals seeking a concise, grounded view of intelligence testing and its practical applications.
