Each yearbook contains reviews of commercially available tests published or revised since the previous edition. A biennial publication schedule for yearbooks and supplements was introduced in 1988 to facilitate access to test evaluation information and better meet the needs of test consumers. The Supplement to the Thirteenth Mental Measurements Yearbook contains original reviews of tests published or revised since the 1998 edition of the Mental Measurements Yearbook. Tests are listed in alphabetical order for easy reference. Indexes of titles, classified subjects, names, acronmys, and scores, as well as an index and a directory of publishers, are included.

This book is written for busy people who need to understand the information that is flooding them and find ways to interpret it. You may be a business executive, a medical doctor, a stay-at-home mother or father wanting to understand the Gallup poll results in the daily newspaper, or a student studying nursing, counseling, psychology, sociology, or even mathematics. Yet you need to quickly be brought into the world of research and data analysis. It does not require that you dedicate a year of your life to take a course in social-science research and quantitative data analysis. In fact, this book will not have formulas or require you to calculate mathematical functions. But you do need to have the dedication to try to understand what might be considered another language. You can do it at a pace that suits your lifestyle. You might want to take a look at the index at the end of the book to see if there are any terms you've been interested in or wondered about. It is very nontraditional in that its focus is on the concepts behind these processes rather than asking you to learn formulas and how to calculate data. If you have a desire to learn more about what is going on, there are many excellent texts in the references.

Emotional intelligence is an emerging construct for applied research and possible interventions, both in scholastic, academic and educational contexts, organizational contexts, as well as at an individual level in terms of people's well-being and life satisfaction.

The goal is that this book further contributes to the affirmation of a particularly promising variable, such as emotional intelligence, which requires a greater interest and attention in both research and application field.
