Editorial Review: This classic, authoritative introduction to psychological testing is widely hailed for its broad coverage and its ability to cover "graduate school" topics in terms that one with little testing experience can understand. This book familiarizes the reader with the basics of test construction and prepares the reader to effectively evaluate different tests, choose tests for particular purposes and individual examines, and interpret scores properly.

Rating:  - Poorly written, difficult to understand.
I am a graduate student in psychology, and this is the WORST textbook I have ever used. It is poorly written, confusing, and doesn't define clearly even the most simple concepts it is trying to explain. I have to go online to look up definitions and concepts.
Rating: - Find another text if you can
I am a graduate student, half-way through my program and this is not a good introduction to the subject of Psych Testing.

Rating: - Psychological Study guide for YOU!
Anastasi's orignal textbook is a difficult text book for any graduate student. Ms Urbina simplifies and gives examples of typical exam questions.

A must for any student of psychology!
Rating: - Psychological Testing, Anastasi and Urbina
This text is relatively complete and is an excellent reference for graduate level courses but is frustratingly difficult for undergraduates. For undergraduates, the text is obscure, difficult to understand, and lacks sufficient examples, underlining, italics, case boxes, and other reader's aids. Many of my brightest and best undergraduate students found it very difficult to summarize and retain information abstracted from the text. Most have been highly critical not only of the text but of ... Read More
Rating:  - the very best grad-level overview
Inappropriate for undergrads but ideal for grad students. Anastasi's classic text (now updated), has transformed generations of "intuitive" clinicians-in-training into serious behavioral scientists. Note that this is _not_ a great sourcebook for how to administer or evaluate _specific_ tests... Rather, it is an outstanding discussion of the science of assessment, e.g., in _general_, what would it mean for a questionnaire to be "valid"? Or, in _general_, what would it mean ... Read More
