About the Book
This is the updated edition of the successful guide to measuring and assessing human behaviour within a complex multicultural environment.

A question bank containing multiple-choice questions, sentence-completion exercises, as well as paragraph questions has been compiled by Kim Bradfield, Assessment Practitioner for the Centre for Access Assessment and Research (CAAR).

Key Features

• Addition of a new chapter on computer-based assessment and Internet-delivered assessment
• Updated look at professional practice issues
• Discussion of an expanded range of measures so that it is more inclusive of the type of tests used in applied practice and in industry
