"Personality and Individual Differences is my preferred textbook in the field, because it is comprehensive, up-to-date and versatile. All my students, ranging from undergraduates to postgraduates, have found this book useful and stimulating for an introduction to Individual Differences research.???Sophie von Stumm, Lecturer, Goldsmiths University of London, UK "This textbook by Dr Chamorro-Premuzic is an excellent introduction to the myriad aspects of personality research and application. In addition, it provides a unique perspective that relates psychological theory to the use of individual-differences assessments in real-world situations. It is lively, entertaining, and highly informative."?Phillip L. Ackerman, Professor of Psychology, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA ??Selecting adjectives from a checklist is one way to assess key characteristics of personality. My top adjectives for Personality and Individual Differences include authoritative, wise, comprehensive, up to date, succinct, well organized, exciting, enjoyable, accessible, and well produced.

Back Cover

The study of individual differences is part of a well-established tradition in psychology that dates back more than a century. Individual differences researchers attempt to describe and explain how and why people differ, and what impact or consequences these differences have. Whereas most areas of psychology assume that every person is the same and hence attempt to explain the universal aspects of human behaviour, individual difference theories are concerned with differences between people, or what makes everyone unique.

This third edition has been completely revised to include the most up-to-date, cutting-edge data and analysis.
