The book concentrates around psychological testing and assessment in a very human, creative and collaborative fashion. The book has been written and introduced into three parts.

Through these nine chapters, the reader will get a clear, comprehensive and scientific knowledge about evaluation, assessment and tools of assessment especially about psychological tests. Part II is entitled as Major domains of Psychometric assessment which contains chapters 10 through 19. Therefore, this part contains ten chapters and a lucid attempt has been made to cover fields like achievement testing, attitude testing, intelligence testing, personality testing as well as the measurement of interest, values and attitudes and measurement of creativity. Besides this, neuropsychological assessment has also been discussed in comprehensive way. The most significant aspect of this part is that it also explains the application of psychological testing in different fields. Such scientific explanation will provide in-depth knowledge about the practical aspects of psychological testing in different fields.
