SkillSprint: Psychometric Tools, Introduction

Psychometrics is the field of study concerned with the theory and technique of psychological measurement, which includes the measurement of knowledge, abilities, attitudes, personality traits, and educational measurement. The field is primarily concerned with the construction and validation of measurement instruments, such as questionnaires, tests, and personality assessments. At a large scale, it is very helpful, to measure the traits of a person, and predict his performance potential. A psychometric test measures, more than just self-perception and it measures actual behavior. It compares those behaviors with others, to give a real indication of an individual's abilities, strengths, weaknesses and behaviors. These can enable an organization to improve their overall productivity and profits to their share holders.
