Review of The Third Mental Measurements Yearbook

Abstract

Reviews the book, The Third Mental Measurements Yearbook by Oscar Krisen Buros (1949). Colossal is the word for this sixth and latest offering in the familiar series of bibliographical works on mental measurements edited by Buros. The tests listed and reviewed purport to be all of the "commercially available tests-educational, psychological, and vocational-published as separates in English-speaking countries between October 1940 and December 1947." In addition are included a selected list of "classics" (e.g. the Army Alpha, Stenquist Mechanical Aptitude, Strong Vocational Interest Inventory, etc.) plus a few tests published during the 15 years since Buros first started fishing in these waters, but which somehow "got away" before.
