* 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!
