It is hard to imagine how the authors could have improved on the First Edition. Nevertheless, this new edition of the Foundations of Psychological Testing is better than any of its competitors. The authors should be congratulated for making a topic that has been formidable to students in the past much more accessible to today′s students′ - Douglas Herrmann, Emeritus Professor, Indiana State University, Director of Research, Practical Memory Institute The Second Edition of Foundations of Psychological Testingis a scholarly, yet pragmatic and easy to understand text for undergraduate students new to the field of psychological testing.
