"The majority of the Handbook provides knowledge, clear and distinct as Descartes (1641/1996) would have hoped, on the essentials—namely, history, administration, scoring, validity, interpretation, common applications, and psychometrics—of the most commonly used standardized psychological tests. Self-report inventories include the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), MMPI-A, Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III), Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI), and revised NEO Personality Inventory, while the performance-based tests include the Rorschach (Inkblot Method), Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), and various figure-drawing and sentence completion methods. What's unusual among true believers—and Weiner and Greene are true believers in the best sense when it comes to standardized psychological tests—is the ease with which one is made aware of what is not known."
—-Richard W. Bloom (PsycCRITIQUES, 1554-0138, October 22, 2008, Vol. 53, Release 43,! Article 6)
