Abstract
States that psychological testing can be classified into several major categories and that the tremendous variance in psychological measurements makes evaluating the usefulness or value of these tools complex. Reviews and assesses the literature in this field to determine whether, if responsibily used, psychological tests are valuable tools for evaluation. Concludes that they are of use, but the user should have some knowledge of the limitations of the tools.
