This is a thorough and scholarly text that, in my opinion, has set the standard for both graduate and undergraduate texts in personality and psychological assessment. It was my textbook at UCSC in the 1980's and I still keep it on my bookshelf as a reference and recommend it to students. The book is written for an audience of superior intellect, but in a manner that is straightforward and appealing to the serious student of psychology. All the basic information is covered here!
