A chartered psychologist and consultant, Barrett has years of experience advising organizations of all sizes on their selection procedures and assessment systems. He offers a practical text for individuals interested in practicing tests of a psychological type to identify their aptitudes and abilities, or to prepare for an actual test. Representative of the testing instruments used for academic, assessment, recruitment or selection purposes, the workbook will help users develop an effective mindset for taking a range of test types--verbal, numerical, perceptual, spatial, and practical; identify where they may improve key skills; and help them gain awareness of their strengths. The second edition includes new tests of word skills and numerical skills--longer and wider ranging than the previous tests they have replaced--and new detailed explanations of answers.
