Psychometrics: An Introduction

Fantastically written book - It's refreshing to find a book about measurement and statistics which doesn't consist of page after page of mathematical formulae. This book does and excellent job in explaining all the important concepts of psychometrics and the application of these concepts in real situations.

Excellent book for psychometricians, researchers, and test developers. A bit technical for those without too much background, but still a much easier read with more explanations for non-experts than other similar books.

If you're taking an elementary psychometrics course, this is a really great text. The book is full of examples that make the understanding of such difficult concepts, such as validity and reliability, easier to understand. I only gave it four stars because the text would have been stronger if a section with key assumptions or points comparing the main issues would have been included.

This textbook is very well written, but the figures in the kindle/e-textbook are useless. They are very small and of poor quality. I'm sure they are better in the actual printed book, but if you'd like to read the formulas that author so kindly included, you should not get the kindle version.

Good quality - came as described

If I were really into psychological testing and research I would have gone ahead with this class. Unfortunately, at this point in my life, I'd rather be outside with the grandkids.

This expensive book arrived damaged. It was the 2nd book within the same order that arrived in poor condition. I'll edit this review once the situation is rectified.

Good book

This book provide a very clear and easily understand language to describe basic statistic and psychometric concept. I consider this book as a treasure in which I got with such bargain.I am doing research about leadership using some behavior scale and this book helped me to understand basic tools of conducting such type of research. I have zero experience in research; hence, I am very grateful to the authors.

A good used one

psychometrics is a black beast for psychology students, since the topic is obscure and many textbooks run immediately into mathematical formulas very difficult to follow.the book is very clear on the concepts, taking enormous care in getting straight all of the fundamentalsThe major criticism is the lack of solved exercises. Understanding the theory is important, but practising it is even more. It is a pity that there is no set of (solved) examples, highlighting the topics. Or maybe there is such a set of examples, but not publicly available. This is a shame, since the text would be else fantastic.
