Robert Edenborough provides a detailed and practical guide to the use of tests, clearly showing how powerful and effective they can be in aiding staff selection and development. For any manager or personnel specialist considering using tests. Using Pscyometrics illustrates how they can, and should, be effectively integrated with other assessment methods.

Seeking to de-mystify psychometric testing on the one hand on the other point out the pitfalls of ill-considered use, the author shows:

-What psychometric tests are and when and how to use them;
-How to understand the different types of test and what they can contribute;
-How to choose the most appropriate tests for specific areas of application;
-The legal, professional and commercial regulatory framework.

For personnel/HR professionals and line-managers alike, Using Psychometrics will provide an invaluable introduction to this increasingly popular method of assessment.
