He is a brilliant man (and a very nice one to boot!).
This book provides an excellent introduction to Individual Differences - it is written in an accessible style, and all assertions are backed-up by scientific research.
I warmly recommend this text to anyone seeking to further their knowledge in this fascinating area of psychology.
An informative and enjoyable trip through personnality and psychometrics. Far from having to plough through endless information to try and understand these topics, this book provides an excellent framework for a good understanding of the subject. With reference to empirical research, evaluative criticisim, and self-assessment qusetions the book provides a perfect starting point with directions to more in depth literature. All this and time for the odd joke makes this a must buy text!
Individual Differences was recommended to me by a friend so that I might better understand personality, intelligence and psychometrics. I now understand these concepts thanks to the easy, readable style of writing. As well as listing theories the author also evaluates them, referring to the emperical literature - a pleasant change.
