✦ Synopsis

There is a growing demand for psychometric testing in the coaching profession. Coaches and testing practitioners alike need to understand the psychology underpinning the tests as well as how to select and apply them effectively. Written by an international team of global coaching practitioners, this book provides an overview of using psychometrics and providing feedback, and offers clear explanations of the key models and tools used in coaching today. The tools covered include MBTI, OPQ, Wave, ELQ, MTQ 48, VIA, CTT and many more. Written for both experienced practitioners and those new to psychometric testing, this book provides a deeper understanding of testing models, the theory and research behind them, their reliability and validity, and how to implement them as part of a wider coaching and development program.
