Hoffman explains, without jargon or clinical terminology, the purpose, construction, relative validity, and actual usefulness of 42 of the major assessment tools currently being used. These include: the Beck Anxiety and Depression Inventories; the California Personality Inventory; the Hogan Personnel Selection series; the NEO Personality Inventory (Revised); the Positive and Negative Affect Test; the PSC Survey of ADT (Alienation, Drinking/Drugs and Trustworthiness); the Survey of Work Styles; the Work Stress Inventory and 33 others. In addition Hoffman addresses specifics such as whether a given test is reliable, if (and how) it might be beaten by test-makers, and the legal ramifications of how tests are used.
