About this title

Synopsis

• 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!
