Book Review: Naglieri & Goldstein

Naglieri and Goldstein’s Practitioner’s Guide to Assessing Intelligence and Achievement (2009) is a complete yet concise guide to intelligence and achievement testing. Unlike other texts of intelligence and achievement testing, the Practitioner’s Guide presents a progressive view with the practitioner in mind. Although contemporary in coverage with inclusion of nontraditional tests of cognitive processes and content-specific achievement tests, the chapter authors take care to present each test within historical context and in relation to theory. Each chapter, often written by the tests’ authors, provides a systematic and explicit appraisal of the major tests of cognitive processes and achievement. Moreover, given that this text is coedited by renowned researchers and practitioners in the field, this text offers a unique vantage point not afforded in similar texts. Each chapter is uniformly organized by theory, description, administration and scoring rules, standardization, use of the test, and validity. Overall, the Practitioner’s Guide is a great alternative for practitioners and educators who seek a complete, concise, and cogent read.
