*Shane Costello*
This is an excellent introductory individual differences book.
It encourages the reader to be analytical and critical in
thinking about personality psychology and thus helps engender some
of the skills that are central to higher education.
*Hilary Tait*
This SAGE Foundations of Psychology textbook provides a superb
introduction to the field of personality, intelligence and
individual differences. Students will especially appreciate the
quality of exposition that renders often difficult-to-grasp topics
easy to understand, including importantly how they relate to the
broader field of psychological science.
