'This book provides a unique treatment of psychological assessment. It not only traces the history of assessment, but it provides a cross-cultural and cross-national perspective with each chapter addressing the topic from a different region of the world. This volume presents a global view of how assessment developed and is used.' Paul Spector, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Organizational Psychology, University of South Florida, USA
