This book covers the assessment of people within the workplace. Written in jargon free language, it offers a guide to psychological assessment that can be used by managers in their everyday work. Each chapter will specifically cover an assessment practice and then explore the issues surrounding it, following this discussion with a case study. Ideas for test selection, guidance on assessment centre practice and illustrations of successfully worked exercises are also included.

Mark Cook and Barry Cripps are occupational psychologists who combine academic, industry and HR backgrounds with extensive experience of psychological assessment in practice. As trainers and teachers they are fully up to date with current research in this rapidly developing field.
