| Summary |
"The Educational and Psychological Testing in a Global Context series features advanced theory, research, and practice in the areas of international testing and assessment in psychology, education, counseling, organizational behavior, human resource management and all related disciplines. It aims to explore, in great depth, the national and cultural idiosyncrasies of test use and how they affect the psychometric quality of assessments and the decisions made on the basis of measures. Our hope is to contribute to the quality of measurement and to facilitate the work of professionals who must use practices or measures with which they may be unfamiliar or adapt familiar measures to a local context"-- Provided by publisher |
