What is psychometrics used for?
Although it originated in universities, and is still studied and refined there, psychometrics has been successfully applied elsewhere. Its methodology is deployed in psychological testing of intelligence, personality, achievement, aptitudes, interests, and proficiency, in schools, organizations, business, government, hospitals, and the military. Psychometrics has also been used with great success in industrial and organizational settings for job analyses, consumer surveys, personnel selection procedures, and market research.
