Review of How to Build a Merchandise Knowledge Test

Abstract

Reviews the book How to Build a Merchandise Knowledge Test by J.S. Welch and C.H. Stone. This book presents the methods for the development of job knowledge tests. The procedures for item development, item validation, test validation, cross validation, and the setting of critical scores for trade tests have been brought together in a clear and logical fashion. The reviewer feels this book will serve as a technical manual for those concerned with selection problems and should also be an invaluable piece of outside reading for a course in test construction or in psychological measurement.
