Psychological Testing in Everyday Life by Karen B Goldfinger

Psychological Testing in Everyday Life explores how psychological testing is used in real-life settings to make the study of psychometrics interesting, relevant, and highly accessible. Author Karen B. Goldfinger examines a broad range of carefully selected topics to capture student interest, encourage critical thinking, and spark class discussions. Organized in the form of an applied casebook, each chapter presents the complex issues that arise when using psychological tests in a variety of settings, providing an in-depth view of psychological testing practices, historically and in the present. This unique text will support students in becoming thoughtful, informed consumers and providers of psychological assessment.

An engaging, real-world application of complex issues and concepts pertinent to psychological tests and measuresPsychological Testing in Everyday Life would be a nice supplemental text to a standard psychological testing book.
