Chapters on the techniques of objective measurement, the motivation of personality, and the ways in which learning and growing up can be scientifically assessed conclude in a final overview of the wider social implications of personality measurement.Simplicity of presentation combined with a useful glossary of terms will encourage students and layman alike in the analysis of personality.
