Description
Consisting of papers presented at the annual Buros-Nebraska Symposium on Testing and Measurement, this volume places special emphasis on the complex issues raised by the addition of the computer to the field of measurement. Chapters concerning guidelines for computer testing, validity issues, personality testing, behavioral assessment, intelligent systems, applications in industrial/organizational psychology, and legal issues are included. The volume's editors successfully provide a review of the many content areas affected by computer technology, suggest new ways to solve old measurement problems with computers, and discuss new problems created by the use of computers.
