Competent people are assets to any successful organization and thus are of great value. Here, an important research tool i.e., psychometric testing plays a crucial role in enabling the identification and consequent development of the competencies. Psychometric testing has its relevance for HR professionals for various endeavors like selection, training, promotion, counselling and development of job-incumbents. Therefore, a research-based understanding of psychometric testing would be beneficial for handling people-related issues.
Understanding of psychometrics is concerned with the comprehension of theory and technique of psychological measurement, which aids measurement of knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and personality traits. The field is primarily concerned with the construction and validation of measurement instruments and their administration.
