psychometric text book was in excellent condition.This is an excellent book for psychometrics. Clear concise. Book gives a very good background and varied topics on psychological tests. | ||
Very Easy Read The first five chapters are basically a review of what any student would have learned in a basic intro to research course. After that, the chapters are brief and simply written making it easy for students to capture the essence of the material quite easily. | ||
Basic The textbook is basic and cover most assessments that a counselor may use or see during counseling. It provides basic details for most measures and that is its biggest weakness is that it is to basic. Most of the assessments I learned about in undergrad school. I was hoping for more meat and more detail when it came to the MMPI and other measures of psychopathology. | ||
Good for insomnia If I didn't need this book for a class that I'm taking, I would never have purchased it. The material is very dry and mundane. Every time I try to read a chapter for my class I end up falling asleep. | ||
Very Pleased I am very pleased with the condition the book was in when I received it and with the timely fashion in which arrived. Thank you! | ||
