General Intelligence and Test of Reasoning owes its existence to comprehensive research and strategic planning. A thorough coverage of the reasoning section of various competitive examinations has been achieved after an in-depth research and proper analysis of original papers of the UPSC, SSC, banking services, B-school tests and tests by other central and state-level recruitment bodies. A unique aspect of this book is the approach it adopts in explaining the concepts of verbal analysis, non-verbal analysis, critical reasoning and data interpretation. Each chapter starts with a brief introduction to the various formats of questions asked in competitive examinations, followed by topic-specific tests, which provide numerous multiple-choice questions that involve students in an interactive way to improve their accuracy level. The last chapter provides scientifically structured and exam-oriented test papers to familiarize candidates with current trends and types of questions. These test papers and self-scoring tables will help students assess their own level of preparation.

Wright curates a collection of invaluable work that helps psychological assessors be more deliberate in acknowledging—and, in some cases, mitigating—the role that culture and cultural experiences can play in the psychological assessment process.

You'll explore the roles that power and privilege might play in the assessment process and the cultural variables that affect the interaction with clients and the process as it unfolds. You'll also discover how culture and oppression can be considered and accounted for throughout the entire lifecycle of a psychological assessment. Readers will also find: Tools and strategies for conducting culture-informed and diversity-sensitive psychological assessment Techniques for understanding the data that arises from clients from various backgrounds Ways to integrate culture into every aspect of psychological assessment Perfect for psychology clinicians of all kinds, Essentials of Culture in Psychological Assessment is a can't-miss resource that will inform, improve, and transform the way you conduct psychological testing and assessment on clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds.
