Abstract:

"This book is written primarily for teachers and guidance counselors who need an accessible reference guide. A revision of a 1997 handbook that included 70 tests and instruments, this expanded and improved edition brings together psychometric information for more than 120 instruments that have been developed to measure constructs in education and the social sciences. References are included to both published and unpublished measures (scales, questionnaires, surveys, indices, and inventories) that would be difficult for researchers, teachers, and counselors to otherwise locate."--BOOK JACKET.
