Abstract
[Abstract]: The main aim of this chapter is to introduce the reader to the concept of testing and to the principles that underpin the practice of educational and psychological testing. The first part of this chapter is devoted to that aim. A second aim of the chapter is to examine applications of testing under the headings of educational, industrial, and clinical. Examples will be introduced from the author's own work to illustrate various applications. A final aim is to discuss some of the issues and controversies that surround the theory and practice of testing. By the end of the chapter, the reader should have an understanding of the techniques used in test validation and should be familiar with some of the main applications of educational and psychological tests.
