Psychometric Psychology

Psychometric psychology is concerned with the measurement and quantification of personality, behavior, mental abilities, intelligence, performance, along with the analysis, design, and refinement of the test contents, questionnaires, and other tools used in such evaluation. A psychometric psychologist conceptualizes, administers, and interprets psychological tests. There are two major types of tests that psychometric psychology is concerned with, namely aptitude tests and personality tests.

Psychometric test psychology involves the development of theories, techniques, assessment tools, and systematized models that can connect observable psychological phenomena (such as psychological attributes and responses on an aptitude test) to certain outcomes.
