Easy to understand, chapter summaries are helpful. However it doesn't have an answer key for the review questions, which is a bust because some of them are trick questions and can have more than one answer.

Pretty difficult to understand at times, but good information in here. I struggled. Some more concrete examples would have been helpful

This book had too much information and very little explanation. I did not enjoy it very much.

Very comprehensive. More like a conversation than a text reference. Organizes the different types of assessment qualities very well. Places a lot of them in handy table comparisons.

Excellent book. It was required for one of my classes for my master degree. It is full of great information to help you become more of a competent counselor.

Not an easy book at all, but very informative. Might be a good book to have for a refference, or so.

Great book for a general idea on assessment tools (Academia)

It is a great and easy read on my kindle app. I love it.
