PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING : Fourth Edition

---

IN A revised edition, one expects both similarities and differences. This
edition shares with the earlier versions the objectives and basic approach
of the book. The primary goal of this text is still to contribute toward the
proper evaluation of psychological tests and the correct interpretation
and use of test results. This goal calls for several kinds of information:
(1) an understanding of the major principles of test construction, (2)
psychological knowledge about the behavior being assessed, (3) sensi-
tivity to the social and ethical implications of test use, and (4) broad
familiarity with the types of available instruments and the sources of
information about tests. A minor innovation in the fourth edition is the
addition of a suggested outline for test evaluation (Appendix C).
In successive editions, it has been necessary to exercise more and more
restraint to keep the number of specific tests discussed in the book from
growing with the field-it has never been my intention to provide a
miniature Mental Measurements Yearbook! Nevertheless, I am aware
that principles of test construction and interpretation can be better un-
derstood when applied to particular tests. Moreover, acquaintance with
the major types of available tests, together with an understanding of
their special contributions and limitations, is an essential component of
knowledge about contemporary testing. For these reasons, specific tests
are again examined and evaluated in Parts 3, 4, and 5. These tests have
been chosen either because they are outstanding examples with which
the student of testing should be familiar or because they illustrate some
special point of test construction or interpretation. In the text itself, the
principal focus is on types of tests rather than on specific instruments. At
the same time, Appendix E contains a classified list of over 250 tests,
including not only those cited in the text but also others added to provide
a more representative sample.
