Reviews

This comprehensive, accessible and authoritative text is a brilliant blend of theory, method, and practice. Written by an international list of experts, it is up-to-date, scientifically rigorous and yet has plenty of real-life examples. I could not be more positive about the book and placed it immediately on various reading lists. * Professor Adrian Furnham, Norwegian Business School * This easily accessible book, grounded in sound scholarship, provides undergraduate students with a comprehensive overview of personality and intelligence. It challenges the reader to think about the relationship between theory and practice in an engaging and relevant way. * Professor Mandy Robbins, Wrexham University * A highly detailed and interesting text that provides a mix of factual knowledge and theories alongside real-world examples to engage the reader. I would recommend this book to my students. * Dr Laura Jenkins, University of Birmingham *
