APA Handbook of Testing and Assessment in Psychology cover

This three-volume handbook is a comprehensive presentation of the theory and application of tests in psychology and education.

It begins with an in-depth portrayal of psychometrics: the quantitative underpinning of testing. It then provides thorough, up-to-date and informative chapters related to five general application areas of testing:

  • industrial/organizational psychology
  • clinical psychology (including health psychology)
  • counseling psychology
  • school psychology
  • educational testing
In each of these five areas, this handbook is probably the most comprehensive review of the use of testing and assessment in the subfield.

An expansive overview of the techniques and purposes of assessments. Each essay is very informative and focuses on a particular aspect of the topic. This discussion offers an excellent examination of the idea of assessment rather than simply a list of tests. Highly recommended.
