Editor Passmore, a psychologist and coach in England, gathers psychometrics researchers and practitioners to describe psychometrics instruments and their use in business and occupational coaching. For coaches new to psychometrics, the book explains basic concepts such as validity and reliability; for more experienced practitioners, the book is useful as continuing professional development. It can be used as a text for university and professional coaching courses. Part 1 explains basic concepts of psychometrics and psychological tools in coaching, designing and using psychometric questionnaires, and using feedback in coaching. Part 2 profiles 17 individual instruments and their use in coaching, including the MBTI, the OPQ, and the Saville Consulting Wave. Each profile contains theoretical background, an overview, and guidelines on how to use the questionnaire as a tool with coaches. The book features many visuals, including summary tables and process diagrams. This second edition offers five new chapters, with additional material on basic concepts of psychometrics and coverage of two additional instruments.
