A complete guide to key intelligence and achievement tests and
their effective use
The tools used in the assessment process have changed
dramatically in recent years. School and clinical psychologists
need a comprehensive yet focused resource to which they can turn to
learn the basics of key intelligence and achievement tests and how
to use them in their assessments of children and adults. With its
practical and straightforward presentation, Practitioner’s Guide
to Assessing Intelligence and Achievement provides that
resource.
Coedited by two well-known and respected scholars and
researchers, Jack Naglieri and Sam Goldstein, the content in this
timely book combines traditional and new conceptualizations of
intelligence as well as ways to measure achievement. Truly readable
and user-friendly, this book provides professionals with a single
source from which to examine ability and achievement tests along
the same general criteria.
Each chapter is written by a leading scholar and test developer
and is consistently structured for easy comparison of each test
that is examined. Coverage includes:
* The theory underlying each test
* Description of each test
* Tips for administering and scoring each test
* Standardization, norms, and reliability of each scale
* Practical guidance for the use of each test
* Correspondence of each test to IDEA
A practical tool designed to aid clinical psychologists in
understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the various tests
presented, Practitioner’s Guide to Assessing Intelligence and
Achievement provides students and practitioners with the
information they need for their practice and testing efforts to be
consistent with recent updates in the field and how those
assessment instruments relate to changes in the laws that influence
test use.
