Psychometrics

This document provides an overview of the history and concepts of psychological testing. It covers: 1. The earliest uses of tests in the late 1800s and early 1900s to classify individuals. 2. Key figures who developed early intelligence and personality tests like Alfred Binet, Francis Galton, and Carl Jung. 3. The standardization of tests and establishment of norms beginning in the 1900s to allow comparison of individuals' test performance. 4. Expanding uses of tests from intelligence to assessing a variety of constructs and in different settings through the 20th century. Validity and reliability became important concepts to ensure tests accurately measured what they intended to measure.
